Australia adds to Russia export embargo

Pure-bred horses, truffles and wine are among a slate of new luxury goods that cannot be exported to Russia under the expansion of Australian sanctions, APA reports citing Canberra Weekly.

The further sanctions come a day after Ukraine’s ambassador to Australia called for a moratorium on all Russian goods entering the country as the Kremlin is accused of committing war crimes during its invasion.

The new sanctions include everything from tobacco to leather and furs to musical instruments on top of an already announced export ban on aluminium ores.

Foreign Minister Marise Payne will travel to Brussels on Tuesday for a NATO foreign ministers meeting, as new action is considered against Russia over its illegal invasion of Ukraine.
