Australia pledges another $50M in 'defensive support' to Ukraine
NBCAPR 2022
We are witnessing a global conflict between authoritarian, autocratic regimes and liberal democracy, with Australia firmly on the side of democracy, sovereignty, and self-determination. This invasion is an egregious violation of international law. Putin's ultimate aim is to restore the Soviet empire, even if it takes massive bloodshed and false pretexts such as calling the 2014 Ukrainian revolution after a fraudulent election a "coup".
NATO and the US have ignored Russia's security concerns by breaking its promise not to expand eastward in return for German reunification. These concerns are legitimate and taking them seriously would have avoided the Ukraine tragedy.
