The Australian government has announced it will send anti-amour weapons and ammunition to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces in their battle against Russia’s invading forces.

In a statement on April 8, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the extra military support, worth $26.5 million (US$19.5 million), would aid Ukraine’s forces in responding to Russia’s “unrelenting and illegal aggression.”
