Australia is considering joining a new peacekeeping coalition for Ukraine, led by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This coalition includes 29 Western allies and aims to support Ukraine amid ongoing conflict with Russia. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed Australia's willingness to consider requests for support. However, he stated that details about Australia's involvement are still unclear and depend on a ceasefire agreement from Russia. While some leaders suggest sending troops, Australian opposition figures argue against this, preferring Europe handle ground forces. Albanese emphasized Australia's historical commitment to peacekeeping but noted that discussions about specific contributions are premature.
