Whilst the preference, of course, is always for peace to prevail and for people to be able to return to their homes, right now there are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people facing an uncertain future in overcrowded refugee camps along the border. The Green Party urges the Government to commit to supporting Ukrainian refugees in every way possible—be that through resettlement or through direct humanitarian support in Europe. That must extend to everybody in Ukraine, regardless of their race or ethnicity, including migrant workers and students. We also know that it is the political activists, the journalists, the human rights defenders, and the rainbow community members who are more likely to be particular targets of the violence from Vladimir Putin's regime. Now is the moment for New Zealand to deliver on its historic commitment to human rights and to welcome Ukrainian people and their families with open arms.
