政府、半導体輸出規制へ調整　対ロ制裁、Ｇ７で包囲網

　政府は２２日、ロシアがウクライナ東部の親ロシア派支配地域の独立を承認し、軍の派遣を決定したことを受け、対ロ経済制裁に向けた調整を本格化させた。先進７カ国（Ｇ７）と連携し、米国が主導する半導体を含むハイテク製品の輸出規制への参加を検討。米欧による包囲網構築を後押しする考えだ。
　岸田文雄首相は同日、記者団に「一連のロシアの行為はウクライナの主権と領土の一体性を侵害するものであり認めることはできない。強く非難する」と表明。Ｇ７を含む国際社会と連携し、「制裁を含む強い対応について調整していく」と述べた。（2022/02/22-19:54）

The Japanese government on Tuesday started preparations to join the United States and other Group of Seven peers in imposing sanctions on Russia amid escalating tensions over Ukraine.
   Tokyo is considering joining U.S.-led restrictions on exports of semiconductor and other high-technology products, aiming to support Western countries' efforts to form a coalition against Russia.
   "We can't tolerate the series of Russian actions that infringe on Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We strongly condemn them," Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters Tuesday, after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of two separatist-controlled regions in eastern Ukraine and decided to send troops there.
   "We'll coordinate a strong response including sanctions" in cooperation with the international community including Japan's G-7 partners, Kishida said.
   Later, he had telephone talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and shared the view that Russia's actions are an unacceptable violation of international law.
