Ukraine is interested in receiving decommissioned Australian armored vehicles. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha said this during a telephone conversation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Australia Penny Wong, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
Sybiha, during a telephone conversation with Penny Wong, thanked Australia for its support and informed his colleague about the priority defense needs of Ukraine.
He noted that Australian Bushmasters have proven their effectiveness on the battlefield, and Ukraine intends to expand cooperation with these and other armored vehicles.
"I emphasized that, in addition to military aid, Ukraine is interested in decommissioned equipment, including a large number of decommissioned Australian armored vehicles and other models. It is a win-win: partners save resources, and Ukraine increases its defense capabilities," Sybiha said.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in March, Australia decided to join the "drone coalition" for Ukraine. In February, Australia decided to provide financial assistance to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities in the amount of AUD 50 million (about USD 32.4 million).
On September 5, the Verkhovna Rada appointed First Deputy Minister Andrii Sybiha as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
