It will be hard in the short term, but with our continued and unwavering support, it will win.įrom Canberra to Copenhagen, the world is backing Ukraine. Longer-range weapons will help redefine the equation, allowing Ukraine to defend itself pre-emptively. Ukraine will do that with the equipment that we and our allies are supplying. In the coming weeks, Ukraine will need to dig deep, it’ll need to stretch Russia’s lines, starve supplies and strike deep into Putin’s battle formations.
The focus was, and is, on strengthening Ukraine – for today and future generations. When I spoke to leaders at the Munich Security Conference yesterday, our focus wasn’t on defeating Putin – that’s a given.
Putin has become the architect of his own nightmare.
Closer friendships, long-term planning, and soon a stronger Ukraine on Russia’s doorstep. HE COULD have never envisioned the consequences of his miscalculation – the strengthening of Nato on his border, the training of tens of thousands of Ukraine’s troops by the world’s best defence forces, more military equipment than ever flowing into Ukraine.
