Japan joins US, others in excluding Russia from SWIFT system

Japan will join the United States and other Western countries in blocking certain Russian banks' access to the SWIFT international payment system, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Sunday (Feb 27), following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Playing without understanding how that type of สล็อต 168 game is played. What techniques do you need to use, it's likely to be easy to lose.

Tokyo will put sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and extend US$100 million in emergency humanitarian aid to Kyiv, Kishida told reporters.

"This Russian invasion of Ukraine is a unilateral attempt to change the status quo and shakes the international order to its core," Kishida said.

"We must remain united and take action resolutely."

SWIFT is a secure messaging system that facilitates rapid cross-border payments, making international trade flow smoothly and transferring trillions of dollars each year in what has become the principal mechanism for financing international trade.

Kishida's decision came after the US and its allies took a similar step on Saturday, a move seen to deal a blow to Russian trade and make it harder for Russian companies to do business.

US ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel, was quick to welcome Japan's sanction measure.
