Australia has pledged an additional $70 million in military aid to Ukraine. The funding will be delivered in two equal payments of $35 million over the next 12 months. The money will go through the PURL initiative, a program that helps Ukraine purchase urgent military supplies directly from manufacturers. Australian officials stressed that supporting Ukraine is not just a European concern. "What happens in Ukraine matters in the Indo-Pacific," a statement said, linking the conflict to broader global security.
