Australia pledges $100 million in additional military aid to Ukraine | SBS News

Australia has pledged an extra $100 million in support for Ukraine off the back of the defence minister's visit to the war-torn nation.
The package includes $50 million for short-range air defence systems, $30 million for unmanned drones and $15 million for "high priority" equipment such as combat helmets, inflatable boats, boots, fire masks and generators.
Ukraine will also receive air-to-ground precision munitions.
It brings Australia's total contributions to more than $1 billion since Russia's invasion, including about $880 million of military assistance.
Chief International Correspondent Ben Lewis travelled to Lviv in Western Ukraine with Defence Minister Richard Marles.
