Japan to take action on energy projects in Russia in line with G7

Japan said on Tuesday it would will take “appropriate action” on energy projects in Russia involving Japanese state-owned companies, as major Western oil companies led a withdrawal from Russia in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine.

Industry minister Koichi Hagiuda told a news conference that Japan’s decisions would be based on understandings reached in discussions with G7 nations and other governments over how to respond to the invasion, which Russia calls a “special military operation.”
