Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio has announced sanctions against Russia after the country unilaterally recognized the independence of parts of eastern Ukraine.
Kishida told reporters on Wednesday that Japan will suspend the issuance of visas and freeze the assets of individuals linked to the pro-Russian regions. He said a trade ban will also be imposed.

The Japanese government has condemned Russia's recognition of two breakaway regions in Ukraine as independent. It says the action infringes on Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and violates international law.
Japan has a sense of crisis that the issue may not be limited to Europe when it sees China's growing maritime presence in the East China Sea and elsewhere.
Japan maintains it cannot accept any unilateral attempt to change the status quo by force. It has been calling on China to exercise restraint. Japan is seeking a "free and open Indo-Pacific" with countries that share common values such as democracy.
The Japanese government sees that if it keeps quiet about Russia's use of force, it might encourage China's further activities.
A government source says there would be a seismic change in the international community if the world fails to prevent a military invasion by Russia.
The source says Prime Minister Kishida Fumio is concerned that such an event could affect the order of the Indo-Pacific region.
The Japanese government has not revealed the content and timing of sanctions it plans to impose in the event of a Russian invasion.
A senior foreign ministry official says it is difficult to determine what would constitute an invasion, and coordination with other governments will be needed.
A senior official in US President Joe Biden's administration was asked whether the administration would consider the entry of Russian troops into the breakaway regions an invasion that would trigger US sanctions.
The official said the administration will carefully observe and assess Russia's actions and respond accordingly.
The Japanese government is expected to decide the details of sanctions after studying responses by the United States and other Group of Seven member countries.

The closure of businesses such as gyms and movie theaters, as well as a ban on gatherings of three people or more and night-time dining at restaurants, will be extended till late April.
Schools will be closed from March through late April, by moving forward summer holidays.
Coronavirus infections are surging in Hong Kong, with a daily count exceeding 6,000. Beijing is on the alert, as the country sticks to its zero-COVID policy.
It is reported that last week President Xi Jinping instructed the Hong Kong government to take every possible measure.
Hong Kong has postponed its March election for chief executive to May.
