Hon PHIL TWYFORD (Minister for Disarmament and Arms Control) (remote): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I too will keep my contribution short, but I want to just really add a postscript to this debate about the disarmament implications of Vladimir Putin's invasion of the Ukraine, and what it means for the work that New Zealand so wholeheartedly has contributed to internationally, over a number of decades now, arguing for peace and disarmament, and strengthening the place of international law. Russia's got almost 6,000 nuclear warheads and Vladimir Putin, when he made his threat to use nuclear weapons by putting them on high alert, sent a shock wave around the world. Without doubt, his words were designed to create uncertainty and instability. Belarus has, in recent days, renounced its non-nuclear status through a highly questionable referendum. This has added fuel to the fire.
