	Description:		It's important New Zealand's voice is heard amongst the global opposition to Russia's unprovoked invasion into Ukraine. The Government's unveiled a bespoke Russia Sanctions Bill which will be passed under urgency this week. It enables sanctions on people, companies and assets related to the invasion, or who are of economic or strategic relevance to Russia. Otago University International relations professor Robert Patman says Putin is undermining the rule of law internationally and countries like ours have a reliance on the rules-based system. "If Mr Putin gets away with what he's doing, it will be sending the message that might is right. Our interests long term would be compromised by such an outcome."
