Australia to spend $70 million on ammunition, small missiles to help Ukraine fight against Russia [View all]

ABC Canberra

Scott Morrison has said Australia will send around $70 million to fund military equipment, including ammunition and missiles, and other support to Ukraine to help its fight against Russia.

The government is also putting around $35 million toward humanitarian support to help international organisations responding to Ukrainians fleeing the country and seeking asylum in neighbouring regions.

Mr Morrison announced on Sunday that Australia would help provide "lethal aid" to Ukraine by contributing funds to NATO to bolster weapons shipments into the country.

Today's announcement put a dollar figure on exactly how much Australia would pitch in.
