The Australian Government will provide further military support to the Government of Ukraine in response to Russia\u2019s unrelenting and illegal aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This $26.5 million package of anti-armour weapons and ammunitions for the Ukrainian Armed Forces will further boost the capabilities Australia has supplied that have proven critical on the battlefield so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will bring Australia\u2019s total military assistance to date to approximately $191.5 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This extra support comes on top of the 20 Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicles we announced today that our Government is gifting the Government of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Government will not disclose specific details of the new package, or delivery arrangements, at the direct request of Ukrainian officials and our other partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Government will continue to identify opportunities for further military assistance where it is able to provide a required capability to the Ukraine Armed Forces expeditiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia may be thousands of kilometres away but we\u2019re standing side by side with Ukraine against this illegal invasion with arms, equipment, aid and even energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This fight is important because not only are Ukrainian lives and their lands at stake, but so are the principles of freedom and the rule of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia stands with the people of Ukraine, and again calls on Russia to cease its unprovoked, unjust and illegal invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
