The fresh defence package brings Australia's total assistance for Ukraine to more than $1 billion.
Australia will send unmanned drones, air defence systems, and safety equipment to Ukraine as part of a renewed $100 million push to aid the nation in its war against Russia. The package includes $50 million for short-range air defence systems, $30 million for unmanned drones and $15 million for "high priority" equipment such as combat helmets, inflatable boats, boots, fire masks, and generators. Ukraine will also receive air-to-ground precision munitions.
"Ukraine and its people have endured more than two years of Russia's full-scale invasion but their spirit remains strong," he said. The $100 million in military aid brings Australia's military assistance to Ukraine to $880 million and the nation's overall support to more than $1 billion.
