Australia and Ukraine Seal New Security Pact

A new agreement strengthens defence cooperation between Australia and Ukraine.

In a significant move, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have signed the Australia-Ukraine Bilateral Security Agreement. This new agreement lays out a framework aimed at enhancing defence and security cooperation between the two nations and underscores Australia's long-standing support for Ukraine. Ukraine, which has been fending off an unprovoked and unjustified invasion by Russia for over four years, has developed one of the world’s most innovative and agile fighting forces. The agreement marks a vital step in international partnerships amid ongoing global security challenges.
