Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Australia has imposed more than 1,400 sanctions on Moscow, earning a spot on Vladimir Putin’s list of “unfriendly countries.” The extensive sanctions reflect Australia’s firm stance against Russia’s actions and its support for Ukraine.
At the recent G7 summit, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese demonstrated his support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by sharing an emotional hug, captured in a video posted on social media. This gesture came in the wake of Kyiv experiencing its deadliest attack in nearly a year, with at least 16 people reported killed by Russian missile strikes on Tuesday.
The Albanese government has reaffirmed its commitment to backing Ukraine for “as long as it takes,” despite waning support from the United States amid the Biden administration’s focus on domestic issues and the ongoing influence of the “America First” agenda promoted during the Trump era.
In his social media post, Albanese emphasized Australia’s role in addressing global challenges, stating that the country is “playing our part” in seeking solutions to conflicts and crises worldwide. The show of solidarity underscores Australia’s ongoing support for Ukraine and its stance against Russian aggression.
