Russia detains Japanese journalist on spy charges

Original: ロシア

Russian authorities have detained a Japanese reporter on espionage allegations, drawing attention in Japan. The news comes alongside other tensions: Tokyo's fresh sanctions prompted countermeasures announced by Russia's foreign ministry, and bipartisan US senators objected after President Trump decided to import diesel fuel from Russia. Moscow has also reportedly prepared to halt attacks on the day of Ukraine's presidential election while rejecting a 60-day ceasefire.

Why now: The detention of a Japanese journalist, combined with new sanctions and countermeasures, is escalating tensions between Japan and Russia.
