Foreign Ministry statement on personal sanctions against Australian citizens voicing anti-Russia sentiments
In response to politically motivated sanctions against Russian individuals and legal entities, imposed by the Government of Australia as part of the Russophobic campaign by the collective West, Russia denies entry to Russia for an indefinite term for an additional 27 Australians. They include former politicians, Australian corporate executives, university lecturers, journalists and public figures who formulate the anti-Russia agenda in this country. The complete list follows below.
Considering the fact that official Canberra does not intend to renounce its anti-Russia line and continues to impose new sanctions, we will update the Russian stop list still further.
