New Zealand has consistently supported the UK and the international community in condemning the Salisbury attack and Russia’s involvement. New Zealand therefore welcomes the results of the Sturgess Inquiry. Anyone who uses chemical weapons must be held to account.

The ICAO Council’s ruling that Russia is responsible for the downing of MH17 is a sad but historic moment in the pursuit of justice and accountability for the victims of this horrific act, and for their families and loved ones.
Russia must take responsibility and comply with the ICAO ruling.

New Zealand remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine as it defends itself in a war that Russia started.
It's mounting the defence of a proud, democratic and sovereign nation, but also the defence of international law.
3 years on from Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, NZ continues to support all efforts for sustainable peace.
We stood firm during today’s #UNGA voting, upholding the UN Charter, int’l law, incl. key tenets of sovereignty & territorial integrity.
