Russia has lost its High Court bid to strike out a law preventing it from building a new embassy in Canberra.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said there were national security concerns about having the Russian embassy so close to Parliament House.

While the High Court found the new law was valid, the Commonwealth will have to compensate Russia for revoking the lease.
