Australia has significantly increased its military support for Ukraine, pledging an additional $250 million in aid, marking the country's largest single military package to Ukraine since the onset of Russia's invasion in February 2022. This latest commitment elevates Australia's total military assistance to over $1.1 billion and overall support to more than $1.3 billion. The aid package includes weapons, equipment, and the transfer of some defense personnel to a new NATO security and training program specifically for Ukraine. Ukrainian officials, including MP Kira Rudik, have expressed profound gratitude towards the Australian government and its people for their generous support. This move comes in response to an urgent request from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following a devastating hospital bombing, amid concerns over the geopolitical implications of potential changes in the US presidency.
