Russia on Monday followed its ally China in suspending all Japanese seafood imports over Tokyo's release of wastewater from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.
Japan has been sharply critical of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while Tokyo's relations with Beijing — which has deepened ties with Moscow — have worsened.
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."
It said the restrictions would remain in place "until the necessary exhaustive information to confirm the safety of seafood produce ... is forthcoming."

Did any Western country ban Japanese seafood as a result of the release of nuclear wastewater? Russia and China did ban Japanese seafood for that specific reason, but I was wondering if other countries followed suit in the West, because it seems like a political decision that motivated Russia to do the same against Japan.
