The detention of the Japanese consul “coincidentally” with the imposition of new sanctions against the Russian Federation by Tokyo.
The Russian FSB announced the detention of Motoka Tatsunori, an employee of the Consulate General of Japan in Vladivostok.
This is reported by the Russian media.
< p>It is alleged that the diplomat allegedly “was caught red-handed while receiving limited information about the current aspects of Russia's cooperation with one of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the impact of Western sanctions policy on the economic situation in Primorsky Krai.”
Propagandists claim that the Japanese diplomat admitted his guilt. The consul was declared persona non grata. Japan has been protested through diplomatic channels.
Note that the detention of the Japanese consul “coincided” with Tokyo's imposition of new sanctions against the Russian Federation. Today, Japan banned the export of goods related to chemical weapons to Russia.
