Japan should urge more nations to impose Russian sanctions, experts say
By Keita NakamuraAs the Ukraine war drags on, Japan, which will chair the Group of Seven industrialized nations in 2023, should increase efforts to urge more nations to impose sanctions on Russia and add pressure on Moscow to enter negotiations with Ukraine for a cease-fire, international relations experts say. Most developing nations and emerging powers, such as China and India, have not joined the sanctions or openly criticized Moscow over the war, with some even expanding trade with Russia. "The G7 nations have to determine how to explain to other nations about the advantages of being in the democratic camp and how to attract them," she added. To get them committed to sanctions on Russia and support for Ukraine, Japan and other G7 nations should "grasp their individual and specific needs and display a determination to stand by them," she said. Beijing has sought to somewhat distance itself from Moscow after more human tragedies unfolded in Ukraine and Russian troops faced setbacks on the battlefield.
