Russian Ambassador To Japan: Retaliation For Expulsion Of 8 Officials From Japan
Russia's Ambassador to Japan Mikhail Galuzin has described the Japanese government's decision to expel eight Russian officials as counterproductive to bilateral relations.
Galuzin told Russian state-run media that the Japanese side is deliberately diminishing hopes for a diplomatic dialogue.
He said Russian diplomats are leaving the embassy, so Russia would certainly take retaliatory steps.
