“Australia’s contribution to a #MilitaryForce in #Ukraine to help deter #Russia from breaking a possible ceasefire would likely be *limited to ADF personnel helping with training and planning*, as a growing divide emerges between #AnthonyAlbanese and Peter Dutton on the proposal.

Dutton ramped up his opposition to Australia’s possible contribution to a peacekeeping force in Ukraine in a speech to the Lowy Institute on Thursday, saying “we are a middle power and we don't have an ability to have a presence in multiple theatres”.

Albanese has said his #government is open to requests to contribute to a #peacekeeping force after Britain and France both committed to sending troops in the event of a ceasefire.

The total force to be deployed by European nations and other countries like Australia could be as much as 30,000. An Australian delegation led by Australia's military representative to #NATO, Air Vice Marshal #DiTurton, will participate in planning talks in London today where options will be discussed.”

🇺🇦 UKRAINE
🔴 What the coalition of the willing has agreed for Ukraine’s ceasefire?

🔸 29 nations back a 10,000+ troop peacekeeping force for Ukraine.
🔸 UK and France to lead; 35 countries to offer military, logistical, and intelligence support.
🔸 2 minesweepers of the Royal Navy were transferred to the Ukrainian fleet to be sent to the Black Sea.
🔸 Meloni reportedly joined the coalition despite initial hesitation.

“Australia willing to consider joining #PeaceKeeping effort in #Ukraine: ‘It is the right thing to do and it is in Australia’s #NationalInterest. Because what happens in the #EuroAtlantic has serious implications for our region – the #IndoPacific – and vice versa.

This is a #struggle not just for the people of Ukraine & their #NationalSovereignty. This is a struggle for the International #RuleOfLaw.

President #Putin’s regime has imperialist designs, for Ukraine and beyond.’ — #AnthonyAbanese 🍌🇦🇺⚔️
