Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is considering reopening the embassy in Ukraine, but his hopes of visiting Zelensky are compromised by the recent wave of attacks
Anthony Albanese says Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine are uniting the democratic world against Vladimir Putin’s regime as he joined a chorus of international condemnation over the Kremlin’s missile strikes on a busy shopping centre.
In a major speech on Tuesday he will say the world is facing its “1937 moment” and must be ready to “fight and win” to ward off Putin. “It’s one of the reasons why I am here at NATO … the world looks at what is going on and collectively condemns it.”The latest attacks on Kyiv and surrounding cities threaten the Australian leader’s potential trip to the capital later this week, which is still subject to security evaluations.
“That is one of the issues that has been examined over recent days and weeks. And we’ll continue to do that,” he said. Speaking ahead of the Nato leadership summit, he said: “We will transform the NATO response force and increase the number of our high readiness forces to well over 300,000. People watch as smoke pours from a crowded shopping mall in Kremenchuk after a Russian missile strike.More than 1,000 people were inside when two Russian missiles struck, Zelensky said. At least 25 people required hospital attention, while about 36 were missing, according to the local governor.
