The donation will be used to strengthen the country's defense capabilities, Rubryka reports, citing Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Ukrainian President Zelensky.
"Australia remains steadfast in supporting Ukraine to defend itself against Russia's illegal and immoral invasion," said the Australian PM. "We stand with Ukraine in support of its courageous people and also in defense of a fundamental principle — the right of every sovereign nation to be secure in its own borders and to determine its own future."
Today's contribution will take Australia's overall support to Ukraine to approximately $960 million, including $780 million in assistance for Ukraine's Armed Forces.
President Zelensky responded to this decision, expressing gratitude to the partner country, particularly Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
"Australia demonstrates its commitment to defending freedom, life, and international order, just as all free nations on all continents should," he said. "Our countries are geographically distant, but shared values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law bind us together. We will never forget Australia and its support."
In related news, Australia decided to dismantle and dispose of decommissioned Taipan helicopters instead of sending them to Ukraine.
