The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned more would be added to the country's 'stop list'. 9News
The list of 121 names, which includes billionaires, newspaper bosses, chief executives, professors and military officers, builds on the 228 Australians including then leader Scott Morrison and current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese banned from Russia in April.
"Taking into account the fact that the official Canberra does not intend to abandon the anti-Russian course and continues to produce new sanctions, work on updating the Russian "stop list" will continue," it said, in a statement published on Tuesday. "But in Putin's twisted, Orwellian world, 'Russophobia' means criticising his kleptocracy, repression, and genocidal war.
The list also includes more than a dozen senior officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force, Atlassian founder and prominent billionaire Mike Cannon-Brooks, South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas and a handful of new federal Labor ministers and deputy ministers who weren't already sanctioned.
