OREANDA-NEWS The New Zealand government decided to keep the sanctions on Russia for three more years, until 2028. The sanctions will be in effect until then. The decision is from Friday, March 14. The ministry of foreign affairs also said about the new rules.

The Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that the country will put up with the sanctions pressure that the West began to exert on Russia several years ago and continues to increase. Moscow noted that the West lacks the courage to admit the failure of sanctions against Russia. Western countries themselves have repeatedly expressed the opinion that anti-Russian sanctions are ineffective. Russian President Vladimir Putin previously stated that the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. According to him, the West's main goal is to worsen the lives of millions of people.
