Moscow: Russia has added 121 Australians, including businessmen and journalists, on the ‘Stop List’ meaning they are banned from entering the country.
The Foreign Ministry said: “In response to the growing sanctions of the Australian government, an additional 121 Australians from among the leaders of law enforcement agencies, businessmen, experts and journalists who are shaping the Russophobic agenda in this country are added on the ‘Stop List’.”
Sputnik said the persons included in the list were banned from entering Russia indefinitely.
The Russian Ministry said: “Given that official Canberra does not intend to abandon its anti-Russian course and continues to produce new sanctions, work on updating the Russian Stop List will continue.”
