Ukraine Army highly appreciated Australian Bushmasters - Zelensky
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this at a joint meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Kyiv on Sunday, July 3, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
"Australia supports our state and the international legal order. It provides significant assistance to Ukraine, including defense assistance. Australia is one of the top countries in terms of its volume. Our defenders highly appreciated the Australian Bushmaster armored personnel carriers and other specific assistance from Australia," Zelensky said.
He briefed the Australian prime minister on the situation at the front and Ukraine's capabilities in resisting the Russian invaders.
Zelensky also called for strengthening international cooperation in order to "break the aggressive potential of the Russian Federation" and step up sanctions pressure on the aggressor.
The head of state said that with its aggression against Ukraine, Russia created threats that are felt today in all regions of the world.
According to Zelensky, he and Albanese discussed, among other things, the food crisis caused by Russian and ways to solve it.
In addition, Zelensky offered Australia to take part in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, announcing its "willingness to join the implementation of the project."
