11月20日新西兰国防部消息，新西兰国防部长佩尼·埃纳雷(Peeni Henare)访问了乌克兰和波兰，与部长级部长举行了会谈。在会谈中，佩尼.埃纳雷部长重申新西兰坚定不移地支持乌克兰防御俄罗斯的非法和无端入侵。
这次访问进一步表明了新西兰对乌克兰人民的持续支持，并承认自俄罗斯无理和非法入侵以来267天多来乌克兰勇敢的自卫努力。
在基辅期间，佩尼·埃纳雷在乌克兰阵亡者纪念墙上向那些在战争中丧生的人表示敬意，并与乌克兰国防部长奥列克西·列兹尼科夫举行了双边会谈。
佩尼·埃纳雷说：“访问基辅发出了一个强烈的信息，即新西兰与乌克兰人民站在一起，我们对乌克兰对俄罗斯非法入侵的防御努力的支持是坚定不移的。
我重申新西兰坚决支持乌克兰的领土完整及其人民，并申明我们继续明确谴责俄罗斯的侵略。 在我与国防部长列兹尼科夫的会晤中，我们讨论了新西兰最近将乌克兰军队在英国的步兵训练支持任务延长至2023年7月。列兹尼科夫部长对延长培训任务表示感谢，并指出这在实地正在发挥作用。
国防部长列兹尼科夫感谢新西兰政府迄今提供的支持，并承认新西兰贡献的重要性。列兹尼科夫先生感谢新西兰的支持，特别是军事援助，并承认我们是来自世界另一端的小国。
在这里亲眼目睹并亲耳听到乌克兰公民在为领土完整而战时做出的牺牲是令人羞愧的。 报告还突出了新西兰政府为何继续表示支持。
雷兹尼科夫先生说，他们面临的头号挑战是冬天，度过难关，但是到目前为止，他们非常成功，因为他们的思维定势是我们可以赢，我们会赢，我们必须赢。
我很自豪能代表新西兰来到这里。我们的努力得到了好评。这对我们所有人来说都是一个发人深省的提醒，提醒我们冲突的挑战，以及为什么推动降级和外交很重要”。
佩尼.埃纳雷先生说：“对我来说，最突出的是他们在面前的冲突中取得成功的决心和他们的坚定不移;他们的士气非常高”。
埃纳雷部长还访问了波兰，会见了国防部长马里乌什·布瓦什恰克。
佩尼.亨纳雷说:”最近在波兰发生的导弹袭击是一起不幸的事件，突显了俄罗斯非法入侵乌克兰造成的危险。我表达了新西兰对事件造成的生命损失的哀悼。
新西兰和波兰在乌克兰问题上有着相同的价值观，因此布拉什恰克先生非常感谢新西兰对乌克兰的援助。
我们同意在未来继续就我们还能做些什么来帮助乌克兰的复原力和重建工作进行公开对话。
自2月下旬俄罗斯开始入侵乌克兰以来，新西兰已制裁了1200多名俄罗斯个人和实体，并向乌克兰提供了6000多万美元的军事、外交、法律和人道主义援助。
我们的人民通过对合作伙伴的培训，后勤和情报支持做出了重要贡献，这就是我们认为新西兰国防军能够最好地支持乌克兰的地方。
这种支持正在得到回报。乌克兰正在取得进展，但现在不是固步自封的时候。
我想明确一点，虽然新西兰国防军不会进入乌克兰作战，但我们仍然致力于为防御努力贡献我们的技能和专业知识。
但结束这场冲突有一种快速的方法，那就是俄罗斯扭转方向，立即撤出乌克兰。
原则很重要，虽然新西兰可能在世界的另一端，远离战斗，但我们致力于维护国际法规则和《联合国宪章》，并尽我们所能提供支持，这就是这次访问的意义所在”佩尼.亨纳雷说。
佩尼.亨纳雷部长现在将前往柬埔寨参加在暹粒举行的东南亚国家联盟国防部长会议（ADMM-Plus）。
20 NovemberDefence Minister visits Ukraine and Poland
Defence Minister Peeni Henare has visited Ukraine and Poland, holding talks with his Ministerial counterparts. During the talks Minister Henare reaffirmed New Zealand’s unwavering support for the Ukrainian defence against Russia’s illegal and unprovoked invasion.
The visit was a further demonstration of New Zealand’s ongoing support to the people of Ukraine and acknowledgment of the brave Ukrainian self-defence efforts more than 267 days since Russia’s unjustified and illegal invasion.
While in Kyiv, Peeni Henare paid his respects to those who have lost their lives in the war at the Wall of Remembrance of the Fallen for Ukraine, and held bilateral talks with the Ukrainian Minister of Defence Oleksii Reznikov.
Visiting Kyiv sends a strong message that New Zealand stands with the people of Ukraine and that our support for the Ukrainian defensive effort against Russia’s illegal invasion is unwavering,” Peeni Henare said.
“I reiterated New Zealand’s strong support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and its people, and affirm our ongoing unequivocal condemnation of Russia’s aggression.
In my meeting with Defence Minister Reznikov we discussed New Zealand’s recent extension of the infantry training support mission in the UK for Ukrainian troops out to July 2023. Minister Reznikov expressed his gratitude for the extension of the training mission and noted that it was making a difference on the ground.
Defence Minister Reznikov thanked the New Zealand Government for the support provided to date and acknowledged the significance of New Zealand’s contribution. Mr Reznikov was appreciative of New Zealand’s support especially military assistance, and acknowledged we are a small country from the other side of the world.
To be here to see for myself and hear first-hand the sacrifice of Ukrainian citizens when fighting for their territorial integrity is humbling. It also highlights why the New Zealand Government continues to show its support.
Mr Reznikov said the number one challenge for them is winter and getting through it, however they have been extremely successful so far due to their mind set of we can win, we will win, and we must win.
“I am proud to be here on behalf of New Zealand. Our efforts have been well received. It’s a sobering reminder for us all of the challenge of the conflict and why it is important to push for de-escalation and diplomacy.”
Mr Henare said “What stood out for me is their determination to succeed in the conflict ahead of them and their steadfastness; their morale is very high,” Peeni Henare said.
Minister Henare also visited Poland where he met with Minister of National Defence Mariusz Błaszczak.
The recent missile strike in Poland was an unfortunate incident and underlines the dangers created by Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. I expressed New Zealand’s condolences for the loss of life from the incident,” Peeni Henare said.
“New Zealand and Poland share the same values on Ukraine, and so Mr Blaszczak was very appreciative of the assistance from NZ to Ukraine.
We agreed to continue to have open conversations into the future around what more we can do to help Ukrainian resilience and the rebuild effort,” Peeni Henare said.
“Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began in late February New Zealand has sanctioned over 1200 Russian individuals and entities and provided over $60 million in military, diplomatic, legal and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.
Our people are making an important contribution through our training, logistics and intelligence support to partners, and that is where we see the New Zealand Defence Force as being able to best support Ukraine,” Peeni Henare said.
“This support is paying off. Ukraine is making advances, but now is not the time to rest on our laurels.
I want to be clear that while the New Zealand Defence Force will not be entering Ukraine to fight, we remain committed to contributing our skills and expertise to the defensive effort.
But there is one quick way for this conflict to end and that is for Russia to reverse course and immediately withdraw from Ukraine.
Principles matter, and while Aotearoa might be on the other side of the world and far removed from the fighting, we are committed to upholding the rules of international law and the United Nations Charter and do what we can to support – that is what this visit was about,” Peeni Henare said.
Minister Henare will now head to Cambodia to attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Defence Ministers’ Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus) inSiem Reap
