The Foreign Affairs Minister says expelling the Russian Ambassador to New Zealand is an "active consideration" following Vladimir Putin's latest announcement. 

A Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFAT) spokesperson initially said in a statement expelling Russian diplomatic staff "is not currently an option", but after Newshub asked questions of the minister, MFAT sent another email saying it was a mistake and meant to say it "does remain an option".
