The sanctions affected 56 individuals and 55 legal entities:
Sanctions against Russia
During Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, large-scale sanctions were imposed by other states and international organizations. The restrictions affected various areas, including the financial system, trade, transportation, energy, and defense sectors. The goal was to weaken Russia's economic potential and complicate its ability to wage war.
In mid-June, New Zealand introduced a new package of sanctions against Russia, Belarus, Iran, and North Korea.
