The Australian Government has imposed targeted financial sanctions on 14 Russian state-owned enterprises of strategic and economic importance to Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today\u2019s listings include defence-related entities such as transportation company Kamaz, and shipping companies SEVMASH and United Shipbuilding Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanctions extend to electronic component company Ruselectronics, which is responsible for the production of around 80 per cent of all Russian electronics components. They also target Russian Railways, which is one of the world\u2019s largest transportation companies and one of the largest single contributors to Russia\u2019s GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our targeting of Russia\u2019s state-owned enterprises in coordination with key partners undermines their capacity to boost the Russian economy. By preventing dealings with these important sources of revenue for the Russian Government, we are increasing the pressure on Russia and undercutting its ability to continue funding Putin\u2019s war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Australian Government reiterates our unwavering support for Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and for the people of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We again call upon Russia to withdraw its military forces immediately from Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
