Australia has announced a new $100 million aid package for Ukraine, which includes a substantial allocation of military equipment. Half of this amount is designated for a large batch of MANPADS, and more than $30 million will go towards drones as part of a 'drone coalition'. The package also includes air-to-ground munitions. The announcement was made by Prime Minister Shmyhal and further emphasized by Defence Minister Richard Marles during his visit. Marles highlighted that this contribution, which brings Australia's total aid to Ukraine to over $1 billion, is part of ongoing support and 'will not be the last' as Australia stands with Ukraine for the long haul.
