政府、対ロ追加制裁を検討　民間人集団殺害の疑い、強く非難

　ウクライナの首都キーウ（キエフ）郊外でロシア軍が多くの民間人を殺害した疑いが浮上したことを受け、岸田文雄首相は４日、「国際社会と連携しながら、わが国としてすべきことをしっかり行っていきたい」と述べ、対ロ追加制裁を検討する考えを記者団に表明した。政府はロシアへの非難を強めており、先進７カ国（Ｇ７）各国などと調整を急ぐ。
　首相は４日の自民党役員会で「極めて卑劣な行為が繰り返されていることが明らかになり、世界が強い衝撃を受けている」と語った。松野博一官房長官も記者会見で「無辜（むこ）の民間人の殺害は国際人道法違反だ」と断じた。
　林芳正外相は談話で「ロシアの責任は厳しく問われなければならない」とし、戦争犯罪をめぐる国際刑事裁判所（ＩＣＣ、オランダ・ハーグ）の捜査に期待を示した。（2022/04/04-19:20）

The Japanese government will consider additional sanctions against Russia as its military is suspected of having killed many civilians near Kyiv, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Monday.
   "We'll do what we should while working with the international community," Kishida told reporters. Tokyo is stepping up its criticism of Moscow and accelerating preparations to act in concert with its Group of Seven peers and other nations.
   "It has been revealed that extremely vicious acts were repeated. The world has received a strong shock," Kishida told an executive meeting of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
   "Murdering innocent civilians violates international humanitarian law," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told a news conference.
   In a statement released Monday, Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi showed hope for investigations by the International Criminal Court over war crimes, saying that Russia must be rigorously held accountable for its actions.
