February 20, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> New Zealand will impose sanctions on the Belarusian defense company Alevkurp on February 21, says an updated sanctions list published by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company, specializing in designing, manufacturing and designing radar systems, is associated with the Belarusian government or the military, it noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entity has operated under the authority of the Belarusian State Defense Industry Committee since 2007, according to its website, alevkup.by<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka, Belarusian top defense officials and Security Council chief Alaksandar Valfovi\u010d are on New Zealand\u2019s sanctions list for supporting Russia’s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, New Zealand\u00a0expanded its sanctions to the Belarusian oil and petrochemical giant Bie\u0142naftachim and Naftan oil refinery over their alleged involvement in illegal trade in Russian oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja visited New Zealand in November 2025 to promote sanctions on Minsk and push for holding \u0141uka\u0161enka and his officials accountable for supporting Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
