Russia advances in Mariupol, accused of striking art school where 400 civilians sheltered
Australia will immediately ban the sale of alumina and aluminum ores to Russia as it seeks to limit the Kremlin’s capacity to produce aluminum — a top export for Russia and a key ingredient in arms and munition manufacturing.
Russia relies on resource-rich Australia for nearly 20 percent of its alumina needs, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Sunday, adding that Russia “must pay a very high price for its brutality.” “What happens in Ukraine does not just affect Europe. As we’re seeing here in Australia, it affects, of course, the rules-based order upon which our own region depends,” he told reporters during a news conference, calling the Kremlin’s actions in Ukraine “a gross violation of international law.”
Morrison also announced Sunday that Australia would send more military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, along with thermal coal used to power homes and factories. He said Ukrainians fleeing the conflict would be offered a three-year visa upon arrival in Australia, allowing them to work, study and access government-funded health care.
Officials rushed through new sanctions after getting word that a ship was due to dock in Australia this week to collect a load of alumina bound for Russia. “Our decision here should say very clearly that to … all companies operating in Australia, we are watching these things very, very carefully,” Morrison said.
