New Zealand will provide an additional $8 million in support to Ukraine while expanding sanctions aimed at weakening Russia’s war effort, Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters has announced.
Peters said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, now entering its fifth year, continued to have serious global security consequences.
“Russia’s illegal and unprovoked invasion… has devastated Ukraine, destabilised Europe and impacted the security of our own region,” he said.
The latest funding package includes $5 million in humanitarian assistance for international aid organisations supporting civilians affected by ongoing attacks, particularly damage caused by strikes on energy infrastructure during winter. The contribution lifts New Zealand’s total humanitarian assistance to Ukraine to $45 million since the conflict began.
A further $3 million will be directed to the World Bank-administered Ukraine Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction and Reform Trust Fund, which focuses on rebuilding essential infrastructure and strengthening Ukraine’s energy resilience.
Alongside the financial support, the Government has introduced its 34th round of sanctions against Russia. Measures include lowering the international price cap on Russian crude oil and targeting 100 vessels linked to Russia’s alleged ‘shadow fleet’.
The new sanctions also extend beyond Russia, targeting individuals and entities in Belarus, Iran and North Korea, as well as alternative payment providers, cyber actors and organisations supporting Russia’s military-industrial network.
More money ffs
I am bouyed by the comments.
For a long while it seemed i was the only kiwi who understood the scale of corruption pervading our parliament, and stealing our lifestyles.
The H Clark advised Ardern government used climate change (remember the multi million grant to super profit generating, aussie owned bluesteel?) Covid (where is our $74.4b and why is the luxon government sweeping it under the carpet?), maoris (why was the maori queen given $10m by the h clark advised ardern?), and gangs (the super profits made by gangs during the supportive clark advised ardern government was topped up by tax money unbelieveably gifted to the gangs).
The right launder our money with gifts to corrupt war mongers, unabashed naked support of the aussie banking, grocery, insurance, and energy cartels (taxing kiwis for a $1b gas terminal 2 indepedent reports told the government doesnt make financial sense) , and through h clark’s enduring maori tax money laundering schemes.
Come on academics. You know what is going on.
It is time you show some integrity, find a charasmatic leader, form a new honest centre right party, be up front with the nz people, and give us a reason to stay in this godforsaken country.
The incentives to jump ship is getting more and more likely by the day except we are too old now… sadly…
Also, Good ole Winston just showed us who runs his party… same as runs all of them ….money for Ukraine, what an absolute joke… wonder who in politics here are in the same boat as McSkimming or Epstein and have to dance to the tune of the corruption ruining this world…there is no one left to vote for in parliament now… have to waste a vote on a freedom party I suppose but at least, it won’t be NZ First now, cannot vote for any of them now…
From a Dickhead to a Cokehead.
Madness!
Clearly Winston has not read about the 2014 colour revolution, the expansion of Europe, the fact Zelensky is a puppet who used to ply the piano with a rude body part, who is a dictator and can’t account for where the money has gone. Critical Thinking is not evident here.
NO, Winston is corrupt like the rest of them… must be…
It’s absolutely sickening — more money for that Gangster State full of neo-Nazi fanatics and ultra corrupt officials who simply want to keep money flowing for their personal wealth – Zelensky is estimated to have pilfered well over $US 2 billion from NATO donations. The Leftist Legacy Media in NZ always repeat that regime’s propaganda, never examine and report the truth.
NO, Winston is corrupt like the rest of them… must be…
Well I was going to vote for him untill this
same here not getting mine now, especially when our country is falling to bits around our ears
Yep he has lost my vote now…
This is pure money laundering.
Yep, Winston is a shill, not getting my vote now…
Fkn dipsh*t wankers handing OUR fkn money to a slimy fraudulent snake-eyed nazi fkn criminal. The fkn sickness of these f*ckers just gets more and more fkn obscene. Words just can’t describe this horsesh*t
This makes my blood boil. New Zealanders are on their knees and this bastard government are giving OUR MONEY to this corrupt foreign regime filled with neo Nazis. Yeah you can take a running jump National, NZF, ACT this coming election.
You forgot to tell the most corrupt coalition in history to take a running jump… labour, tpm, greens, and winston first.
The problem is who does that leave to vote for?
Ps. Putins propogandists have obviously found the daily telegraph nz.
You ol fool, you lost my vote.
More money down the toilet, like we dont need it here. Come on Winston, what a farce
In the early 1990’s after the Soviet Union and it’s Bolshevik (J3wi$h) Communism fell apart, a new agreement was reached between the newly-formed Russian Federation and the West.
Here is the jist of that below;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_One_Inch
Then came the fraudulent and fake ‘Minsk Agreement’ which was essentially a lie to buy time for the Ukraine under J3wi$h / Bolshevik / Zionist ‘leadership’ in order to secretly build-up weapons and material in order that the Bolshevik J3w$ could once again invade Russia, with a modern-day 1917 take-over. During that time period, (1917-1991) 66 million Russian Orthodox Christians and the Zeks were murdered!
https://www.bitchute.com/video/sGGfMsclPInE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY00FF7HLZY
Zelensky has shut-down the Orthodox Churches in the Ukraine, and sends non-J3w$ into battle to die!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXcgJsKZ83Q
Then, in 2014, the Maiden Coup occurred, with the Western Governments and their intelligence agencies fomenting the overthrow of a duly-elected Ukrainian President, and replacing the same with what has now been three J3wi$h ‘Presidents’ who are intent on taking Russia back, killing Russians, taking the resources, and breaking the country up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV9J6sxCs5k
This is a Zionist Talmudic J3wi$h Op- with taxpayer money from many nations supporting this evil Ukrainian Zionist regime!
Putin gave the Ukrainians and the West time to stop the bullshit of the Ukraine joining Nato, and continuing to harm ethnic Russians in the Donbass, whom the Ukrainians were killing with western weapons, and to stop the advance eastward.
Putin gave a deadline, and even waited an extra two hours before launching the SMO.
Zelensky has stated the he was going to make the Ukraine into ‘another Israel’, as part of ‘Greater Israel’ by reclaiming the territories that were once Khazaria. We can see the Genocide, Holodomor, and outright murder that the current faux ‘State of Israel’ is carrying out for 4 years now! Same Talmudic timeline as the Russian/Ukrainian War.
Winston peters, lex Luxon and his gang of Zionist Noahide Law supporters needs to stop the bullshit, as Russia is NOT the bad guy here.
You summed it up very nicely. How much in total have we now given to that creep sleazeball Zelinsky?
Should be enough for him to buy another mansion in some far flung place.
All this Kiwi money going to a guy who on TV plays the piano with his dick. Makes my blood boil.
Our politicians are as corrupt as hell. Probably getting a kickback from the criminal in Ukraine.
Had my doubts about Peters, but now I know NEVER to vote for him/NZF again.
That’ll disappear up Zelensky’s nose faster than Winnie can transfer the free money squeezed out of the Kiwi tax-payers.
Easy come, easy go if you’ve never done an honest days work for as long as Winnie.
Of course he doe’s, feed the war Winston.
What is wrong with you, Winston I thought you at least had some common sense. Another stupid politician hard at work… Duh.!
Winnie u gloablist w*****
💵🧺
What a load of crap that comes out of Peters mouth. Typical lying politician. More money for the corrupt Ukrainian politicians to nest egg away NZ taxpayers’ money. for themselves. A very corrupt nazi country.
This is Nato’s war against Russia
I have nobody to vote for now, what a complete idiot.
I think NZ Loyal could be a choice.
Actually, you do have someone and something to vote for —

he is so full of SH*t here we are with a crumbling health system and he gives money to nut job in the ukraine .. bad move ..
Well put Aly. It’s so sad our politicians treat us as stupid, but still want our votes!!
Problem is, our volume does not reach the sheeple.
CRAZY ….
Volodomyr’s cocaine supplier thanks the people of New Zealand for their kind donation. Your groceries and fuel may be unaffordable, your health system f***ed and your politicans and media corrupt and evil, but you Kiwis can all sleep well knowing Volodomyr will snort a line tonight with you all in his thoughts and prayers.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Netanyahu’s puppet in the White House is threatening all out war against Iran yet the silence from Winston is deafening.
Will we ever see Winston condemn or sanction US officials should they follow through with Israel’s demands to neuter Iran. Will Winston cough up taxpayers’ money to pay for humanitarian aid to Iran.
Let’s face it, Winston is well past his use by date and has seriously lost the plot. He has obviously forgotten the name of his own political party; ‘New Zealand First!’
Yep. He may as well call it ‘The Ukraine First’ party!
In August 2025, New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour was awarded the Order of Merit, Third Class, by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This high-ranking award recognized Seymour for his support of Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and charitable efforts. He was presented with the honour in late 2025.
Only “Third Class”? – “First Class” must have gone to NATO’s warlords, including Starmer, Macron, Merz, Frederiksen, Rutte, Von der Leyen and Kallas among many others.
When will people learn: 100% of the time, Winston will sell you out to the globalists.
👍👍👍
Most definitely. It’s by design, back to the two cheeks of the same arse.
The most stupid move he has ever made. Winston just sounded the death knell for NZ First.
Meanwhile we are fining homeless people in streets for being without shelter, food and warmth. I cannot see any benefit to NZ for handing out this money.
I am changing Winston’s party name to NZ Last.
Ditto to ALL of the above posts!!
It’s time for politicians to honestly wake up and stop giving OUR money to countries who just use other countries.
Start here in New Zealand. There’s many a need here, Kids Can for starters. They urgently need more money for OUR children’s needs.
Why do we waste time and money supporting this nato proxy war. Winston is just another globalist puppet.
It’s hard to believe how our politicians are so distant from its citizens.
Winston Peters might just as well not campaign this election.
Every party in parliament at the moment are corrupt globalist puppets they have to go .Better not to vote than let these losers work for you,
Well said its looking that way. We are in deed in trouble.
Loyal party ??
Perhaps Winston could come clean and be honest and transparent as to how the corrupt EU and British govt lent on the NZ govt to provide such funds to the nazi Ukrainians.
Russia doesn’t give a flying **** about New Zealand or its pathetic “sanctions”, and Peters’ attempt to please his globalist masters by injecting a piddling NZD 8 million (enough to buy one single Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missile) into the bank accounts of the most corrupt country on earth will only earn him scorn from Fond of Lying and her low IQ crowd.
Meanwhile Ukraine is busy trying to extort another USD 92 billion from the European taxpayers who have no say in how their dwindling reserves are spent.
Repeating the globalist talking point “Russia’s illegal and unprovoked invasion”, demonstrably false to anyone any shred of intelligence, shows exactly who this man is working for and has cost this bastard and his party my vote.
Just another globalist shill pretending to be a “man of the people”.

Ukraine has blown up the Druzhba-1 station at Kaleikino,the critical hub of the Druzhba oil pipeline.
This strike disrupts a line supplying 86% of Hungary’s oil and 100% of Slovakia’s.
In response, Slovakia has announced it will cut off electricity exports to Ukraine……
Well Winston, you paid for this, I used to respect you but not anymore, you’re a useless c*nt.
Legitimized corruption from our traitorous parliamentarian. Winston talks the talk but look around you my dear colleagues, it’s a classic case of take from the compliant pleb to line the elites pockets.
Listening to the simplistic, Marvel comic goody baddy view Leighton Smith explored with Steven Joyce, in regards to the Ukraine crisis, perturbed me. It is never that simple, unless it is propaganda. There are more, “baddies” in this war than Putin. I listened earnestly to Leighton’s postbag the weeks following to see if anyone else had noticed that critical thinking had gone missing, but alas, no one else was awake. Maybe I have moved into a parallel Alice in Wonderland world where objective truth has gone with critical thinking to who knows where, solipsism rules and two and two is five at last.
I have always loved dedication to critical thinking and the pursuit of objective truth by examining all perspectives of a debate.
Please can we go back to the critical thinking demonstrated in such amazing podcasts with Tim Ball, Rodney Hide, Muriel Newman and Michael Rectenwald, the latter might have more to do with Ukraine than you have realised. The Chinese social credit system has been quietly set up there in the chaos and Zelensky spoke at the 2020 Wold Economic Forum meeting.
War is always terrible, especially for the innocent civilians caught up in the geopolitics of the players.
All parties and wider interests controlling some of the parties have corrupt and complex interests.
“Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are” (Meatloaf)
Focus should be on the bigger picture, which is much more complex, than portrayed.
One needs to look at
1. The history of the conflict from all perspectives.
2. Identify all the parties involved including the part the US has played in the Ukraine regime and the leaked phone call showing Newland picked the current Ukrainian Government.
3. Corruption of all parties including the President of Ukraine, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Soros and many more in the US.
4. The fascinating facts on the rise to power of a comedian who played the piano with a rude body part
5. Propaganda from all sides.
6. The labelling of anyone who asks legitimate questions, as committing treason.
7. The ethics of punishing ordinary Russians for something over which they have no control. Is this a humane society, or has cancel culture gone too far?
8. The Bio labs
9. Nazism in Ukraine
10. The moves by Zelensky in banning all opposition and having only “one source of truth media” in terms of his media portrayed saint!!!!!
11. The motives for the change of narrative as the Covid regime crumbles
12. What has the War got to do with the collapsing money system?
I attach some links illustrating all of the above.
I am sure you would agree censorship and the “one source of truth” whatever the topic, means Governments are totally unaccountable. It is not the way to find objective truth or act in the best interests of the people.

With Petro Gonzalez. Propaganda, invoking the emotional response to promote war and who is inextricably linked to Ukraine, how and their motives.
Pedro Gonzalez will open up so many more questions, especially regarding the geopolitics forces and the fake news. He details the Minsk agreements and the call from Victoria Newland. He would be a phenomenal guest to look at the wider picture.

I do not consent to my taxes going to this utter corrupt regime. Winston has forgotten critical thinking principles.
Who are you and where are you coming from? U thought this is the herald?
Admittingly, I didn’t deeply proceed much further than the spiel of ” I have always loved dedication to critical thinking” after sucking some mainstream anallists.
Are you psy-op, clogging up what most of the commenters here, with painstaking effort in well-cultured manner, try to peel, namely the onion, especially the core, that your verbose smokescreen tries to cover up. You don’t even touch matters that are glaringly recognized world wide!!! You comment misleads in contrite “look here, but not there”, exactly as per thejr media dogma.
What you are doing is trying to sell us here MSM obfuscation slop!
And then the chutzpah [sure jo know the meaning] is linking to the CURRENT psy-op Kirk show instead of where the world is turning to, to learn about the biggest and most convoluted crime show the planet has seen, i. e. https://www.youtube.com/@realbaronpodcast
https://www.twitch.tv/canceliancarroll or Candice Owens, if that is not above your limit.
And if you paid attention to what that onion, and especially the core, might stand for, then you know where the cookie crumbles.

What an absolute disgrace, giving TAXPAYERS money to a corrupt country leader while we drive on substandard roads, wait weeks for healthcare and struggle to put food on our tables.😡
Winston you just destroyed your chances of getting back into parliament… totally…
New Zealand: Vote NZ Loyal or Surrender Your Future
February 8, 2026 Published by Kelvyn Alp
It’s time to stop playing the fool in a rigged game. For decades, we’ve been sold a bill of goods by career politicians who promise the world and deliver nothing but division, debt, and decline. The evidence is staring you in the face: skyrocketing living costs, eroded freedoms, and a nation slipping further into the grip of global elites. If you’re tired of this charade, there’s only one real choice – vote in a New Zealand Loyal government. This isn’t about empty slogans or feel-good rhetoric; it’s about reclaiming our sovereignty with concrete, achievable solutions that put Kiwis first. Here’s why NZ Loyal isn’t just another party – it’s the only force capable of dismantling the broken system and building a prosperous, unified New Zealand.
First, let’s dismantle the absurdity of our so-called “democracy.” Why on earth does any nation need opposition parties? If elected representatives were truly working in the best interests of all people – prioritizing health, education, security, and prosperity – who could possibly oppose that? The very existence of opposition exposes the scam: modern politics is nothing more than combative entertainment, a scripted wrestling match designed to distract you while the real power brokers laugh all the way to the bank. We hear endless drivel about “raising the standard of living,” as if the state has the divine right to dictate what’s “good enough” for you and your family. Meanwhile, politicians feather their own nests with fat salaries, perks, and insider deals. Quality of life? Forget it – that would mean empowering people to thrive on their own terms, not scraping by on government handouts. NZ Loyal cuts through this nonsense by eliminating political parties altogether. Direct representation is the way forward: elect individuals accountable to their electorates, with the right of recall at any time if they fail to perform or act in your best interests. No more party loyalty over people loyalty.
True democracy has been hijacked and twisted into mob rule, where the loudest voices or manipulated majorities steamroll individual rights. That’s not freedom; that’s tyranny by majority. A constitutional republic is the superior model, and NZ Loyal will deliver it. We’ll enshrine a written constitution that protects and holds inviolable all inalienable rights and freedoms – life, liberty, property, speech, and self-determination. Government overreach? It becomes impossible. Any policy or law that transgresses these rights gets struck down immediately, no debates, no loopholes. Look at history: no New Zealand government to date has ever challenged the status quo or worked genuinely for the benefit of Kiwis. They’ve all bowed to international pressures, sold out our resources, and piled on regulations that strangle innovation. NZ Loyal changes that by putting power back where it belongs – with the people.
Take our economy, for starters. NZ Loyal’s policies aren’t pie-in-the-sky wishlists; they’re practical solutions with clear paths to implementation. By reclaiming the country’s right to create and issue its own coin, credit, and currency, we sever the chains of predatory international banking cartels. No more paying tribute to foreign lenders who print money out of thin air and saddle us with endless debt. This isn’t radical – it’s reclaiming what’s ours, just as sovereign nations should. We’ll eliminate all taxes and replace them with a flat 1% financial transaction fee across the board. This starves the financial leeches – those middlemen who produce nothing of value but position themselves to manipulate markets and skim profits through skullduggery. Banks, speculators, and hedge funds? They’ll either adapt to a fair system or fade away. The revenue generated will fund essential services without punishing productivity. It’s simple, transparent, and impossible to evade, ensuring everyone contributes proportionally without the IRD-style harassment we endure now.
And binding citizens-initiated referendums? They’ll only be valid under NZ Loyal when the people have full comprehension of the issue, with all sides presented fairly and without bias. No more rushed votes on complex matters manipulated by media spin. We’ll also eradicate all race-based or special interest politics and programs – treat everyone as equal New Zealanders, not divided tribes fighting for scraps. This levels the playing field and fosters true unity.
Why only NZ Loyal? Because the people behind it are determined, steadfast in their beliefs, and genuinely committed to ensuring New Zealand remains under the control of New Zealanders. No globalist agendas, no corporate puppets – just patriots ready to fight for our future. All other parties have failed spectacularly; the proof is everywhere. Housing unaffordability, healthcare waitlists, environmental degradation, youth despair – the list goes on, and it’s worsening daily. More people feel the pinch every year, yet the establishment parties recycle the same failed ideas. They’ve had their chance; now it’s time for real change.
This isn’t optional, New Zealand. Voting NZ Loyal isn’t just a preference – it’s a necessity if you want a nation where freedom thrives, prosperity is shared, and government serves the people, not the other way around. Anything less is surrender. Stand up, vote Loyal, and take back what’s yours. The alternative? More of the same decay. The choice is clear, and it’s unarguable.

Sorry you dribble on far too much word salad, why would we vote another party that goes on and on and on!
Enough! Look after our own people. This is a constructed war to weaken western nations. A money-laundering scheme on steroids.
SIXTY comments! Winston broke all records!
Unfortunately most of NZ’s population support Ukraine.
Winston you and your party are like Labour and National going down big time.
