Government slaps more sanctions on Russia

New Zealand - Russia news

As the world marks three years since Russia’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Winston Peters has announced additional sanctions targeting Russian entities and individuals, reinforcing the country’s alignment with punitive measures.

The latest sanctions target 52 individuals and entities linked to Russia’s military-industrial complex, energy sector, and alleged forced relocation of Ukrainian children.

Peters also pledged an additional $3 million to the “World Bank’s Ukraine relief and reconstruction fund”.

Other global leaders—including U.S. President Donald Trump—are actively seeking to broker peace in Ukraine.

Since 2022, New Zealand has sanctioned over 1,800 individuals and entities under the Russia Sanctions Act.

  1. OMG really? 🙄🙄🙄

    The world bank are literally robbers. Read confessions of an economic hit man.

    I would rather live in Russia than many other countries in the world. They are no longer a communist country or has everyone forgotten that? Russia should be our allies.

    • Russia must be trembling in their boots at this. I’m generally a fan of Mt Peters. This is not a helpful move however. Let’s stop sending our money to the corrupt Ukraine regime.

  2. What do you expect from a vassal state run by low IQ agents of MI6?

    Cocaine addict, corrupt ne0-nazi, who was deemed as Churchill, adressed NZ parliament.

    Russians were systematically victimised for deacdes in Eastern Ukraine. Three attempts were made by Putin to bring peace (two Minsk & Istanbull). UK and other rusophobic vassals pushed Ukarine to the primrose path.

    Does NZ sanction matter? Not at all. The war is lost and the West hasno cards left. Zelensky is just a dead man walking.

    This government is under-estimating many of the Kiwis who know the facts. Of course the foll the masses as usual using media and propaganda.

  3. Winston has truly lost the plot. He has just consigned himself and the NZ First Party to the history books never to be seen in parliament again after the next election.

    The New Zealand economy is not exactly booming right now yet the government hands over three million dollars to support the most corrupt nation in Europe. This is on top of the millions spent on humanitarian aid, the hundreds of millions of dollars lost in sanctioned exports to Russia and the millions spent on training Ukrainian soldiers in the UK.

    Winston, in case you hadn’t noticed there is a new Sheriff calling the shots in the US. I suggest you get your staff at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs up to speed that pushing out blatant anti Russia propaganda and authorising even more sanctions this late in the game is totally pointless.

  4. Europe wants American troops in Ukraine, it’s going to get interesting, wasting more of our taxpayer dollars, is every western country laundering money in Ukraine, perhaps Zelensky and his oligarchs could sell their real estate portfolio’s to fund their own war.

  5. So NZ is going against Trump ?
    Say hello China social credit system bye bye America and freedom.
    Watch the intelligent Kiwis flock to America.
    Very foolish Winstone

  6. Hey Winnie, the Ukraine gravy tran has been derailled by Trump and Putin, 3 million dollars could have paid some bills back home, instead it’s in the world bank for distribution to the suffering civilans of Jewkraine, sorry I meant distributed to the arms manufacturers.
