Australia imposes sanctions over Ukraine crisis

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has announced Australia will impose targeted financial sanctions and travel bans against a dozen Russians and Ukrainians.

Australia will impose financial sanctions and travel bans against a dozen Russian and Ukrainian individuals who have been instrumental in Russia's moves to annex Crimea.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin's move and said the referendum in Crimea could not form any legitimate basis to separate it from the rest of Ukraine.
