Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been banned from entering Russia by President Vladimir Putin in response to Canberra’s sanctions on Russian nationals.

Moscow says it has put an entry ban on 228 Australian leaders after Australia placed sanctions on 67 Russian nationals.

‘The “stop list” of persons who are denied entry to Russia includes members of the Australian National Security Committee, the House of Representatives, the Senate and regional legislative assemblies,’ the Kremlin said in a statement.

‘This step was taken in response to the unfriendly actions of the current Australian government, which is ready to support any actions aimed at containing Russia.’
