As reported by UNN, over the weekend, the Australian government imposed additional financial sanctions on 37 organizations and visa bans on a number of Russian citizens involved in the deportation of Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories by Russia.
Since December 2022, Australia has repeatedly imposed Magnitsky sanctions on Russian citizens, when it first applied restrictions to Russians accused of poisoning Navalny in 2020.
Last week, the United States and the European Union imposed new sanctions on Russia in response to Navalny's death.
