Tony Abbott has criticised the Albanese government for not delivering new military aid to Ukraine and failing to reinstate Australia’s ambassador in Kyiv.
“But unfortunately, there’s been nothing since then, no more Bushmasters, even though we still have about 1000 in stock,” Abbott said.“None of the Hawkei light-armoured cars that the Ukrainians want to use as mobile missile launchers even though we’ve 1000 of them in stock too.
Abbott savaged the decision to keep Australian ambassador Bruce Edwards in Warsaw, Poland, despite all Western allies reinstating their diplomatic embassies in Kyiv in a show of support and solidarity.Volodymyr Zelensky directly pleaded with Australia’s diplomats for them to return to the capital“I do expect that our ambassador will swiftly return to Kyiv, from Warsaw, as it’s so out of character for Australians to huddle in safety when there’s work to be done,” he said.
“In that sense, Ukrainians are fighting not just for their own freedom but for the freedom of every smaller nation threatened by a larger neighbour.”
