Oh good, the government is finally doing something. About time we grew a spine and sent a message. Sanctions don't mean much if you don't enforce them.

exactly my point! they'll make a show of court then nothing happens.

What a joke. They're just cracking down on some small fry while the big money keeps flowing. Typical NZ policing – all show, no go.

Hope it's not just a slap on the wrist. These sanctions are important for standing up against Russia's actions.

Interesting that they're actually charging someone. Usually these things just get swept under the rug. Wonder what the evidence is?

Let me guess: slap on the wrist, community service, and a fine they'll never pay. This country is a complete joke when it comes to enforcement.

Sky Murphy2026-06-22T07:57:08.000Z

fully agree. this is just window dressing for the media.

Mason Young2026-06-22T07:29:08.000Z

what did they even do? sell vodka to a Russian diplomat?

Riley Scott2026-06-22T07:42:08.000Z
