A historic day for Ukraine-Australia relations  Today in New York, President @ZelenskyyUa and Prime Minister @AlboMP signed a Bilateral Security Agreement — a powerful expression of Australia’s enduring commitment to Ukraine. This is about more than supporting Ukraine today. It is about building a long-term strategic partnership. Australia announced additional AUD 60 million (USD 42 million) in support — including $45 million in military kit, $10 million for Ukraine’s Energy Support Fund and $5 million in humanitarian assistance. Australia will also join the UK- and Norway-led Maritime Capability Coalition for Ukraine.  And importantly, this is a two-way partnership. Ukraine has developed one of the world’s most innovative and battle-tested defence forces. The lessons Ukraine has learned on the battlefield — from drones and AI to maritime capabilities and modern warfare — are highly relevant to Australia’s own security. The Australian Government has also today imposed additional sanctions on Russia, bringing our total to almost 1,900 sanctions on Russia and its supporters, and almost 300 shadow fleet vessels listed. I am deeply grateful @AlboMP @RichardMarlesMP @SenatorWong for their support.
