The Russian Foreign Ministry announced Wednesday it blacklisted 48 Australian nationals in response to "politically motivated sanctions against Russian individuals and legal entities by the Australian government."
The ministry said it banned entry to Russia for defense industry contractors, journalists and local officials.
It also said as Canberra continues to impose sanctions on Russia, Moscow will also work on its blacklist.
