Japan said on Tuesday it stood ready to join the United States and other G7 industrialised nations in slapping sanctions on Russia, should President Vladimir Putin order an invasion of Ukraine.

The confirmation by the world's No. 3 economy comes as the crisis in Europe worsens, with the Russian leader ordering troops into two breakaway regions in Eastern Ukraine that Russia now recognizes as independent states.
