Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has made an official visit to Ukraine, meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and promising nearly $100 million (US$68 million) worth of military equipment to the country for its continued defence.

Albanese made the 12-hour visit to Ukraine on June 3, visiting several locations—including Bucha, Irpin, and Hostomel—that the Ukrainian government says experienced some of the worst atrocities of the Russian invasion.
