Russia bars 41 more Australians, foreign ministry says

Russia has barred 41 more Australian nationals from entering the country, the foreign ministry said on Friday.

Among the people added to a previous list were journalists from Australia's Sky News, ABC, 7NEWS and Nine News, as well as weapons industry executives.

They join over 100 Australians that Moscow has barred indefinitely, accusing them of being part of a "Russophobic campaign".

Western countries including Australia have imposed a barrage of sanctions against Russia since it sent troops into Ukraine in late February, with Moscow barring dozens of people from Western countries in response.
