Russia has Imposed a Permanent Ban on Entry to Its Territory for an Additional 131 Australian Citizens Involved in Promoting the Anti-Russian Agenda
Russia has imposed a permanent ban on entry to its territory for an additional 131 Australian citizens involved in promoting the anti-Russian agenda. These include government officials, defense contractors, journalists, and public figures.
The most recent restrictions are part of a response to the politically motivated sanctions that the Australian Government, in coordination with the senior allies, has been placing on Russian individuals and entities.
Russia will continue to update the travel ban list periodically.
Statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry on personal sanctions against anti-Russian Australian citizens
In response to politically motivated sanctions against Russian individuals and legal entities by the Australian government, introduced as part of the Russophobic campaign of the “collective West”, entry into the Russian Federation is closed on an indefinite basis for an additional 131 Australians from among representatives of the military-industrial complex, journalists and public figures who are forming an anti-Russian agenda in this country.
Considering that official Canberra does not intend to abandon its anti-Russian course and continues to introduce new sanctions, work on updating the Russian “stop list” will continue.
Below is a list of Australian citizens included in the “stop list”:
