YEREVAN, JUNE 26, ARMENPRESS. The Australian government will provide a new A$110 million ($73.5 million) package to Ukraine including 70 military vehicles to defend against Russia’s invasion, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday.
The fresh commitments take Australia’s total contribution for Ukraine to A$790 million, including A$610 million in military support, since the conflict began in February 2022, according to Reuters.
“This additional support will make a real difference, helping the Ukrainian people who continue to show great courage in the face of Russia’s illegal, unprovoked and immoral war,” Albanese said during a media briefing in Canberra.
Australia is one of the largest non-NATO contributors to the West’s support for Ukraine and has been supplying aid, ammunition and defense equipment including scores of Bushmaster armored vehicles.
