Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: “During our call with Penny Wong I thanked Australia for its support and updated my counterpart on our priority defense needs. Australian Bushmasters have proven to be effective on the battlefield, and we intend to expand our cooperation on these and other armoured vehicles.

I stressed that, in addition to military aid, Ukraine is interested in decommissioned equipment. Including a large number of Australian decommissioned armoured vehicles and other items. This is a win-win: partners save resources, while Ukraine improves its defense capabilities”.
