Russia is contemplating joining China in banning seafood imports from Japan, following the release of treated radioactive water from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea.
The Russian regulator announced this on Tuesday and stated that Moscow is seeking discussions with Japan regarding the matter, Reuters reported.
Last month, Japan began discharging the treated water from the Fukushima plant into the ocean, a move that drew severe criticism from China. In response, China imposed a blanket ban on all aquatic imports from Japan.
