Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has criticised Beijing for lifting trade restrictions on Russia as the rest of the world imposes sanctions in response to its military operations in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Russian Embassy in Australia has said Russia seeks to “demilitarise and denazify” Ukraine.

“At a time when the world was seeking to put additional sanctions on Russia, they [Beijing] have eased restrictions on trade of Russia wheat into China,” Morrison told reporters on Feb. 25, citing a report in the South China Morning Post.
