“New Zealand has sanctioned 61 more Russian individuals and legal entities, including those involved in sanctions evasion procurement networks,” Peters said.
New names included in the list, according to the publication, include organizations that acquire technology for Russia’s defense industry and senior executives of some Russian banks. Persons involved in the acquisition of weapons from North Korea were also sanctioned.
According to New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the country will also import oil of Russian origin at the maximum price threshold set by the G7 countries.
