Russian authorities said Monday Moscow was suspending all Japanese seafood imports, mirroring a recent move by China over Tokyo's release of wastewater from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.
Rosselkhoznadzor, Russia's body responsible for regulating agriculture products, said it was "joining China's provisional restrictive measures on the import of fish and seafood products from Japan as of October 16, 2023" as a "precautionary measure".
