New Delhi: The Foreign Minister of Australia Marise Payne said “Australian authorities made effective a new package of sanctions against 22 Russian mass media representatives. Persons under sanctions include “senior editors from organizations – including Russia Today, the Strategic Culture Foundation, InfoRos, and NewsFront.”
In particular, the sanction list includes Editor-in-Chief of RT TV Channel Margarita Simonyan, director and TV presenter Tigran Keosayan, Rossiya-1 TV Channel journalist Olga Skabeeva and others.
After the Russian military operations in Ukraine, the US and its allies came to closure and imposed sanctions on Russia. The Financial situation of Russia is worsening day by day.
However, the Foreign Ministry of Japan on Friday said Japan has expanded sanctions against Russia in view of the special military operation underway now in Ukraine. Japan also introduced additional export sanctions by expanding the list of blacklisted companies and organizations from 49 to 130, including Russian shipbuilders, electronic and technical producers, such as the Amur Shipyard and the Russian Space Systems.
