Australia's parliamentary inquiry calls for reopening embassy in Ukraine and boosting military support

A parliamentary inquiry in Australia has recommended reopening the country's embassy in Ukraine and continuing military support for Kyiv. The report suggests establishing a central office to manage aid efficiently as Russia's invasion approaches its 1,000th day. The inquiry received cross-party backing, emphasizing the need for a physical diplomatic presence in Kyiv. It also proposed posting an Australian military attaché to assist with logistics and training efforts. Ukrainian officials highlighted the importance of military aid from Australia and other nations in defending against Russian aggression. Australia has provided over $1 billion in military assistance since the conflict began.
