Morrison, at a news conference, said that “It is important that countries who condemn this sort of behaviour do stick together, and I can assure you that the moment that other countries place strong and severe sanctions on Russia, they will be in lockstep with them and will be moving quickly and that is what their talks have been engaged with our partners,” he said.
