The people of Ukraine are caught in the middle of an imperialist proxy war, the likes of which we have seen in the Middle East and many other countries. Tangata whenua are all too familiar with the evils of imperialism and colonisation. This mamae is still felt today and is why I am speaking in this House on this motion. Te Paati Māori wholeheartedly condemn the unprovoked and unjustified actions of Vladimir Putin, his Government, and the fascist ideologies that enable this type of violence and supremacy. Nō reira e hika mā, tēnā tātou katoa.
