The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that in the Russian Federation there are no restrictions on the work of journalists from Japan and other countries. Japanese journalists have no restrictions on working in Russia, but this privilege cannot be used for anti-Russian purposes, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday. "There are no restrictions on the work of Japanese journalists, as well as on the work of other journalists in our country, but it is also important to note and tell the Japanese side that they do not take advantage of this privilege, especially for anti-Russian purposes," she said during the briefing.
