Foreign Minister Winston Peters has announced a new round of sanctions targeting individuals and entities supporting Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s sanctions package targets 33 individuals and entities with a particular focus on cyber actors, as well as those involved in the forced relocation, abduction, and re-education of Ukrainian children.<\/p>\n
\u201cChildren should never be used as instruments of war,\u201d Mr Peters says. \u201cNew Zealand remains deeply concerned by efforts to abduct and re-educate Ukrainian children through coercive state-directed programmes.\u201d <\/p>\n
The package also includes designations of malicious cyber actors, and those supporting the creation and dissemination of anti-Ukraine propaganda aimed at legitimising Moscow\u2019s illegal war.<\/p>\n
“Activities conducted behind a keyboard can have real consequences. Cyber actors are increasingly being used to gather intelligence, enable sanctions evasion, and disrupt those who oppose Russia’s aggression. New Zealand stands with our partners in calling out Moscow\u2019s use of these actors.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sanctions announced today also target those contributing to Russia\u2019s military-industrial complex, Russian political figures, and actors from the DPRK and Iran who are providing support to Moscow\u2019s illegal invasion. <\/p>\n
Since the Russia Sanctions Act came into force in March 2022, New\u202fZealand has imposed sanctions on more than 2000 individuals, entities, and vessels, alongside a range of trade measures. This is New Zealand\u2019s 36th round of Russia sanctions.<\/p>\n
More information about sanctions, travel bans, and export controls against Russia, as well as diplomatic, military and economic support to Ukraine, can be found on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade website\u202fhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
