Australia has unveiled its largest single military assistance package for Ukraine, totaling nearly 250 million Australian dollars ($169.2 million), the Australian Defense Ministry confirmed.
This comprehensive support includes air defense missiles, ammunition, and anti-tank weaponry.
"The [Prime Minister Anthony] Albanese Government continues its steadfast support for Ukraine, with the announcement of Australia's largest single military assistance package, worth nearly $250 million," the ministry said in a statement.
Included in the package are air defense systems, precision-guided munitions, anti-tank weaponry, artillery, mortars, cannons, small arms ammunition, and a shipment of military boots.
Today's announcement marks Australia's cumulative military aid to Ukraine surpassing $1.1 billion since Russia's full-scale invasion began, with total assistance exceeding $1.3 billion.
Western nations have significantly bolstered military and financial support to Kiev since Russia launched its military campaign in February 2022.
Australia alone has contributed over $1 billion in aid to Ukraine, including $880 million in military assistance, according to the defense ministry.
