Anthony Albanese pledges new $110m military package for Ukraine

After a chaotic weekend in Russia, Australia has pledged a new package to support Ukraine, as the conflict reaches a grim milestone

June 26, 2023 - 1:01PM

Australia has pledged a further $110 million in support to Ukraine, as Russia’s illegal war enters its 16th month.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the latest round of assistance would “make a real difference” to Ukrainians, as they “continue to show great courage in the face of Russia’s illegal, unprovoked, and immoral war”.

“It is sobering that 16 months on from Russia’s invasion, its brutal conflict continues,” Mr Albanese said.

The package, agreed to by cabinet on Monday, includes 70 military vehicles, including 28 M113 armoured vehicles, 14 Special Operations Vehicles, and trucks and trailers.

Australia will also supply 105mm artillery ammunition, and give $10 million to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, who manage the Ukrainian humanitarian funds.

Mr Albanese said Australia would also be extending tariff- free access for goods for a further 12 months from Ukraine, to support their economy.

“We are continuing to train Ukrainian forces in the United Kingdom, and we will continue to engage with Ukraine for as long as it takes to support President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine in this struggle,” Mr Albanese said.
“This is a significant commitment, but it is one that is necessary.”

Yes on the ABC 24 channel this morning.
A poor woman on the DSP living in a car as she couldn't pay her rent.
She often doesn't eat for 3 days at a time.

and yet elma fudd wants to bring in another truck load of migrants when they keep banging on about housing shortages and keep throwing their hands up in the air as to what to do with it.

We need to build our own army here -

the Chinese could invade at any moment.

Will Ukraine help us if we're attacked?

Albo believes in a big Australia -
he doesn't care if he creates 10 million people living in poverty.

We'll see 1 million more immigrants within 2 more years -
no houses,
no hospitals,
no schools,
congested roads.

Ukraine is destroyed -
even if they kick the Russians out there will be nothing left.
Whole cities are razed to the ground.
100s of 1000s of people are dead and as many more maimed for life.
That is not winning anything.

The US GDP and the US military-industrial complex and it's shareholders are the winners. Profits have never been higher.

That's what you get when a PM thinks with only the right side cerebral hemisphere - half brain - guided by emotions, feelings, self pity, promoting self guilt, a leftwing politician, devoid of rationale and a sense of societal functionalism, apart from receiving handouts

also - 200,000 square kilometers of the best prime land has been mined.
It could take decades to de-mine it.
If they use depleted Uranium shells it will be unusable for 1000s of years.

Nearly a quarter of the world's most fertile soil, known as Chernozem, is located in Ukraine. Chernozem is black soil rich in organic matter called 'humus,' which is made up of decomposed plants. More than 65 percent of arable land in Ukraine is composed of Chernozem deposits, making it ideal for farming.
