Hon NANAIA MAHUTA (Minister of Foreign Affairs): Noa'ia 'e mauri. Yesterday, I announced new sanctions targeting Russian disinformation and cyber-attacks as part of the Government's ongoing response to Ukraine. This latest round of sanctions targets eight individuals and entities that are an integral part of Putin's campaign of disinformation and cyber-attacks in Ukraine. Included in the list is the Russian ministry of defence spokesperson, the notorious Internet Research Agency "troll farm", and the Russian intelligence agencies responsible for cyber-attacks on Ukraine. Sanctions mean these individuals and entities will no longer be able to travel or do business in New Zealand, and New Zealanders will not be able to do business with them. Vladimir Putin is using the digital space as a weapon in his callous war against Ukraine. Ukrainians have been subject to relentless cyber-attacks by Russia, and Putin's propaganda machine has been attempting to spread lies and false information to justify his illegal invasion of Ukraine. With these new sanctions, we're showing our complete commitment to responding to Putin's aggression across all fronts.
