Russia launched a “special military operation” once morest Ukraine two weeks ago, and countries around the world have sanctioned Russia. Australia announced today (8) that it will impose a new round of sanctions and will work with allies to drive Russia out of the global economy and supply chain , making those who participated in and planned the war pay a high price.
Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne earlier said in a statement that new sanctions would be imposed on Russian authorities for propaganda and disinformation aimed at making those involved in planning the war pay a high price. She pointed out that Russia is trying to rationalize Russia’s unprovoked aggression once morest Ukraine through all kinds of disinformation. “Putin blocked different voices and locked Russians in a world full of lies and disinformation.”
Payne said the new round of sanctions was mainly aimed at economic sanctions once morest the armed forces of the Russian Federation and a travel ban on six senior Russian military commanders responsible for sea, land and air attacks on Ukraine for undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and killing hundreds of people. Civilian casualties bear direct responsibility.
In addition, Payne emphasized that sanctions will be imposed on Russian banks to eliminate the ability of these banks to finance the war. “Australia and allies will continue to make Russia pay for its egregious and illegal actions. We reiterate that Russia should immediately Ukraine withdraws!”
