Summary
Dozens of Russian intelligence officers expelled from Western European countries have relocated to Japan, where they are purchasing components for Moscow's war in Ukraine, according to a New York Times report. The report, published Sunday, highlights concerns that Japan has become a 'spy paradise' due to its lack of a specific anti-espionage law and its large number of companies manufacturing critical components.
Japan's failure to enact legislation targeting espionage has allowed foreign spies to operate with impunity, the report said. The White House previously opposed passing Russia sanctions legislation, arguing it would undercut diplomatic efforts to end the war.
