The Russian embassy located in New Zealand commented on the latest decision of the local government.
The agency called the latest package of sanctions against Russia and Belarus senseless.
Representatives of the Russian embassy in Wellington made this statement in a conversation with RIA Novosti journalists.
Let us recall that we are talking about a package of restrictions introduced in relation to five individuals and six organizations.
The embassy noted that the sanctions were adopted solely to please the Anglo-Saxon partners.
New Zealanders demonstrate this tenacity, which could be better put to use, in their efforts to keep up with their Western colleagues, who are constantly coming up with new restrictions against the Russian Federation.
At the same time, Russia has repeatedly noted that all efforts to limit Moscow and attempt its economic and political isolation have been unsuccessful.
