CHRISTOPHER LUXON (Leader of the Opposition): I rise on behalf of the Opposition to support this motion and to strongly condemn President Putin's invasion of Ukraine. There is no possible justification for the death and suffering this unprovoked attack has caused and will continue to cause. Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine being subjected to such needless violence in their own home, and with their friends and family here in New Zealand and elsewhere who are, right now, fearing for the safety of their loved ones. This is an affront to human rights, an affront to democracy, and an affront to global peace and stability.
