The Australian government has imposed sanctions on a further 76 Members of the State Duma, in a new move to pressure Moscow over its operation in Ukraine.

The 76 are among a total of 110 people newly added to the Australian sanction list which also included 34 senior members of the Russian-led movements in Donetsk and Luhansk.

"The Australian Government has imposed targeted financial sanctions and travel bans on a further 110 individuals in response to Russia's illegal war against Ukraine, made up of senior Ukrainian separatists and Russian members of parliament," according to a government statement published Wednesday.
