That\u2019s why we are doing our bit to support Ukraine,\u201d Defence Minister Peeni Henare said April 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Zealand\u2019s support has included sanctions, the supply of helmets, vests and radio equipment, and now the deployment of a Royal New Zealand Air Force C-130H Hercules aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parliament unanimously passed historic sanctions legislation in response to Russia\u2019s invasion on March 9. The sanctions initially froze assets and implemented travel bans that prohibited Russian and Belarusian government and military aircraft and ships from entering New Zealand\u2019s territory. Belarus has supported Russia in its war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From April 25, measures will also include a 35% tariff imposed on Russian products, such as vodka and fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Zealand is also contributing an extra $9 million in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/04\/11\/western-nations-adapt-their-ukraine-help-as-war-enters-new-phase\/\">support of Ukraine<\/a>, including $5 million for weapons and ammunition bought by the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About $2.8 million will go to commercial satellite access, giving near-real-time information to Ukrainian officials so they can respond to Russian battlefield movements. And $342,000 is to go toward efforts in the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to support the case against Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This takes New Zealand\u2019s Ukraine contributions to a total of $20 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense analyst Gordon Crane noted that New Zealand signed a partnership agreement with NATO in 2012, and that the alliance regards the country as one of its \u201cglobal partners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI suspect people unfamiliar with New Zealand don\u2019t appreciate the country\u2019s close ties with the U.K. and Europe. The queen of Great Britain is also New Zealand\u2019s queen, and until recently our armed forces relied upon British equipment, from Leander-class frigates, Andover and Strikemaster aircraft to Scorpion light tanks,\u201d Crane told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNew Zealand sent troops to support NATO in Kosovo and, more recently, in Afghanistan. Our support for Ukraine is no different. More than 70% of New Zealanders are from Europe; most are from the U.K.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNew Zealand may be a long way from Europe, but we know that
