Additional Assistance to Ukraine

The Government will provide $189.6 million over two years from 2022-23 to deliver additional assistance to Ukraine following the invasion by Russia. This includes the provision of Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles, infantry training to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and 155-millimetre artillery ammunition to Ukraine as part of a joint initiative between France and Australia. The cost of this measure will be met from within the existing resourcing of the Department of Defence and funding already provided for by the Government. This measure extends the 2022-23 October Budget measure titled Assistance to Ukraine.
