Japan creates its “blacklist” because of crisis in Ukraine

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced about creation of the list including 23 people, who are banned to enter the country through the crisis in Ukraine.

He calls Ukrainian crisis an important international issue not only for Ukraine, but also for Eastern Asia.

“We imposed a travel-ban on 23 people, who are involved in this situation. I hope that with the help of dialogue we will find a diplomatic solution. The door for negotiations should be opened and we hope Russia chooses the path of negotiations,” he added.
