Australia is taking immediate action to sanction Russian individuals, organizations, and banks as part of the international effort to impose a sharp cost on Russia for its "unprovoked aggression" against Ukraine, the Scott Morrison government announced on Wednesday. This comes after Russia recognized Ukraine's breakaway regions - Donetsk and Luhansk - as independent entities.
