Masherao Okavuji, president of the Japanese company “Itochu”, which is participating in the Russian Sakhlin -1 project, believes that Japan will not survive without the continued purchase of oil and gas from Russia.
“Unlike Europe or the US, Japan depends nearly entirely on other nations for its energy needs, making severing connections with Russia unfeasible due to the sanctions.
Even if the sizes were less, the fact remains that we cannot continue to import from Russia.
Okavuji questioned the practise of placing corporations under geopolitical pressure and compelling them to form country blocs for supply chain collaboration. This strategy is viewed as harmful to the world economy.

Japan won’t be able to live without continuing to buy Russian oil and gas, according to Itezhou Okavuji, the president.
