Australia pledges largest military aid package of $250 million to Ukraine since war's start

ABC News reported the information.

Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles announced the aid package on the last day of the NATO summit in Washington.

Australia and other non-NATO partners in the Asia-Pacific region have sent their delegations to strengthen ties with the Alliance amid concerns about Chinese aggression in the region.

Australia's military package includes guided and air defense missiles, anti-tank weapons, ammunition, and a shipment of boots. 

Australia's total support for the Ukrainian military has reached $1.1 billion.

"This is not the last package that we announce. We will continue to support Ukraine for as long as it takes for Ukraine to resolve this conflict on its own terms," Marles assured.

• On May 31, Australia decided to join the list of sponsoring countries of the Ukraine Energy Support Fund. The government announced a grant contribution of about €12.26 million.
