Japan today said, it would slap sanctions on Russia over its move recognising a Crimean vote to break away from Ukraine. In a statement in Tokyo, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said that Russia recognised the independence of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a move that violates Ukraines sovereignty and territorial integrity. It said, Japan will suspend negotiations on easing visa requirements. It further said, Japan will not begin talks on a new investment accord, an outer space accord and an accord aimed at preventing risky military activities.
