Moscow is considering joining Beijing in banning seafood imports from Japan.
MOSCOW: Russia said today that Japan had failed to provide full information on the radioactive water being discharged from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant, despite repeated requests from both Moscow and Beijing.
“We and China have repeatedly urged the Japanese side to show transparency and provide all interested states with full access to all information about the discharge of water from the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant,” Russian foreign ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova said. A massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011 triggered a nuclear meltdown at Fukushima – the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl 25 years earlier, in what was then Soviet Ukraine.
