Australia has placed sanctions on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko for supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Australia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement Friday.  

The new set of sanctions also target 22 "Russian propagandists and disinformation operatives," including senior editors from media outlets Russia Today, the Strategic Culture Foundation, InfoRos and NewsFront, according to the statement. 

Others include Lukashenko's wife, Galina, and his son Viktor, who previously held senior national security roles in the government.

The statement said the sanctions are to "ensure that Russia and those who support its illegal, unprovoked invasion of its democratic neighbour, pay a high cost."
Australia will “continue to impose further sanctions to inflict significant costs on those in Russia and Belarus who bear responsibility or hold levers of power,” it added.

Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon every day.
It will always be helpful to read through content from other authors and
use something from their sites.
