Australia to help send weapons via NATO to support Ukraine in war against Russia
ABCAustralia will pour money into a Western-led effort to help arm Ukrainian soldiers trying to repel the Russian invasion as the conflict further intensifies. Key points: Australia will work with NATO to deliver weapons to Ukraine The government previously committed to non-lethal aid such as medical supplies Scott Morrison says Vladimir Putin has now also been sanctioned by Australia The United States, the United Kingdom and several European nations have already sent large quantities of weapons to Ukraine, and earlier today President Joe Biden approved $350 million worth of US weaponry — including Javelin anti-tank weapons — for Ukrainian fighters. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Australia would make a contribution to the campaign to arm Ukraine, although he did not provide any specifics. Mr Morrison said Australia would work in "lock step" with the US and UK, and took the opportunity to criticise China for not unifying with other nations and imposing harsher sanctions on Russia. Australia only imports a tiny fraction of its crude oil from Russia, but Greens leader Adam Bandt said the move could set an "important precedent".
