Australia will send Bushmaster armoured vehicles to Ukraine following a request by the war-torn nation's president Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Mr Zelenskiy addressed the Australian parliament on Thursday evening saying peace needed to be decided on the battlefield and warned Russian aggression posed a direct threat to Australia.
"You have very good armoured vehicles, Bushmasters, that could help Ukraine substantially, and other pieces of equipment could strengthen our position in terms of armaments," he told the parliament.
