Former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd has joined an international advisory group set up by the president of Ukraine to look at ways to prevent future Russian aggression.

The ‘who’s who’ group of ex-government foreign policy specialists held its first meeting earlier this month after being established by Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy in May.
