“Since their arrival [in Ukraine], the Bushmasters have been used extensively by the Ukrainian Armed Forces with more requested by the Ukrainian President, Minister for Defense, and the Ambassador,” said Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles.
The 30 additional Bushmasters will bring the total number of the protected mobility vehicles sent to Ukraine to 90.
Also, after Catholic Christmas, Australia will send a contingent of up to 70 Australian Defense Force (ADF) personnel to Britain to help train Ukrainian soldiers.
“Our soldiers will be part of a large training program in the United Kingdom to help prepare their Ukrainian mates for their struggle against Russia’s unwarranted and unlawful aggression,” Marles added.
Australia’s total financial support for Ukraine now tops $655 million, including $475 million on military assistance for the war-torn nation.
