Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Richard Marles announced the aid package on the last day of the NATO summit in Washington.
According to the Australian media outlet, the NATO summit, which took place against the backdrop of turbulence in American politics, was largely focused on strengthening support for Ukraine.
ABC News emphasized that Australia and other non-NATO partners in the Asia-Pacific region sent delegations to strengthen ties with the alliance amid concerns about Chinese aggression in the region.
The Australian military package includes guided missiles and air defense missiles, anti-tank weapons, ammunition, and a batch of boots.
The total value of Australia's support for the Ukrainian military is up to $1.1 billion.
