Japan announced Friday additional sanctions against Russia due to its war on Ukraine.

According to JIJI Press, a total of 33 organizations and 12 individuals, including a North Korean national, were added to the Japanese list of asset freeze targets under the foreign exchange and foreign trade law.

53 organizations from countries including Russia and China also became subject to the new measures.

Japan announced that it will also ban the export of 335 more goods, including small motorcycles and components for special-purpose vehicles such as cranes, to Russia from Jan. 23.

Chief Cabinet Secretary HAYASHI Yoshimasa told a press conference that the new steps were put in place to “contribute to international efforts for peace.”

“Japan will continue to work in cooperation with the international community, including its Group of Seven partners,” he added.
