According to a report by “Nihon Keizai Shimbun” on October 15, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi responded on the same day about a Japanese journalist being detained by Russia by the Russian side. According to reports, in an interview with reporters, Sanae Takaichi said that Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is making every effort to negotiate with Russia over the Japanese journalist's detention. When asked by reporters “whether the Japanese government has carried out espionage activities against Russia,” Takaichi Sanae denied it. However, Takaichi said that Japanese and Russian laws are different. Although Russia announced charges against a Japanese journalist, it is currently unclear what exactly the journalist was charged with breaking the law.
