- And in sport, Australia's PGA Championship hopes - down to three players.
Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong has said that the Australian government is appalled at the false trial and 13-year sentence given to Australian man Oscar Jenkins in Russia.
Following the news of the Melbourne man's sentencing, she says that he must be given the protections afforded to him as a prisoner of war.
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan says they are ready to provide the support for Mr Jenkin's family.
"Stand ready to provide whatever support is required to both the family and the federal government as they work through what is a really difficult and challenging circumstances."
Mr Jenkins has been sentenced to 13 years in a maximum security Russian prison for fighting alongside Ukrainian forces.
Prosecutors have said that he was captured by Russian troops late last year in a part of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russia.
In a statement, the prosecutors said the 33-year-old was found guilty by a court of participating in an armed conflict as a mercenary.

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to another prisoner exchange during talks in Turkiye.
The head of Russia's delegation has confirmed a deal has been reached during their Istanbul meeting on what would be the largest POW swap yet, though nothing has been agreed upon regarding talks between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin.
Vladimir Medinsky says Moscow and Kyiv have agreed to provide each other with detailed proposals for a ceasefire.
But he says a meeting between the two countries' leaders cannot yet be confirmed.
"In the coming days, a large-scale prisoner exchange will take place — 1,000 for 1,000 people. Second, the Ukrainian side has requested direct talks between the heads of state. We have taken this request under advisement."

The mother of newly appointed opposition leader Sussan Ley has died only days after watching her daughter make history as the first female leader of the Liberal party.
Ms Ley's mother, Angela Braybrooks, died early on Saturday morning after going into end-of-life care in the New South Wales border town of Albury.
Four days earlier, the longstanding MP for the seat of Farrer was voted leader of the Liberal Party following its crushing defeat at the May 3 election, where former leader Peter Dutton lost his seat.
Ms Ley said she and her family felt the loss of her mother deeply, describing the former mental health nurse as someone who helped many people during her life.
She said in a statement that her mother taught her the values of resilience, self-reliance and persistence.

And in sport,
Australia's PGA Championship challenge has trickled down to three remaining players - after Min Woo Lee, Jason Day and Cameron Smith all missed the cut at Quail Hollow in North Carolina.
As it stands, Cam Davis remains the best-placed Australian, followed by senior statesman Adam Scott.
But the pair fell six shots behind halfway leader Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas - who has maintained his PGA Championship lead despite a last-hole double-bogey.
Overnight, Vegas had been on course to enjoy a substantial halfway lead when he came to the last in his second round with a four-shot advantage over the field.
But that was soon halved after he made a mess of a bunker shot at 18, when he then missed a tiddler of a putt to finish with a second-round 70 to go with his impressive opening seven-under 64.
