Australia is willing to consider the proposal of sending peacekeepers to Ukraine and joining a coalition of European countries if such a request is made to the Australian government.

This was announced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese during a press briefing in Sydney, as reported by Ukrinform.

"There is a discussion at the moment about potential peacekeeping, and from my government perspective, we are open to consideration of any proposals going forward," Albanese stated.

Albanese highlighted that Australia has already provided direct military aid to Ukraine totaling $1.4 billion and continues to play a significant role in supporting Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression.

"We want to see peace in Ukraine, but we want to make sure that the illegal, immoral actions of Russia are not rewarded," the Prime Minister emphasized.
