LONDON/TOKYO -- Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has urged Japan to impose an embargo on Russian oil and gas, calling on Japanese companies to pull the plug on the Sakhalin-2 project in the Russian Far East.
In an online interview with Nikkei Asia, Yatsenyuk said the real intention of Russia is "just to buy time," expressing doubts over optimism that cease-fire talks will progress rapidly.
