The Australian government will commit an initial AU$4 million (US $2.87 million) to Ukraine for military assistance, which comes after Prime Minister Scott Morrison earlier promised to send lethal and non-lethal military equipment to the embattled country.

Morrison told Radio 4BC that the government was working with NATO partners on the most effective way to ship the aid to Ukraine.
