This is the best summary I could come up with:


France and Australia announced early last year that they would jointly provide 155-millimetre ammunition to Ukraine, although they never disclosed the quantities to be delivered through the multimillion-dollar deal.

Myroshnychenko conceded that Ukraine was “concerned” about events in the US Congress, where approval of a $60bn package was being stalled as the Republican-controlled House of Representatives pushes for more border funding.

Dutton, together with his opposition frontbench colleagues Simon Birmingham and Andrew Hastie, also called on the government to “reverse their decision and donate Australia’s out of service MRH-90 Taipan helicopters to Ukraine”.

A spokesperson for the deputy prime minister, Richard Marles, said Australia stood with Ukraine “in support of its sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia’s illegal and immoral invasion”.

“Children are faced with attacks, blackouts and uncertainty – they’re going to school in bomb shelters and their days are punctuated by air raid sirens and the stress of explosions,” the World Vision chief executive, Daniel Wordsworth, said.

In an interview with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson earlier this month, Putin described US support for Ukraine as “harmful and mistaken” and praised former president Donald Trump for casting a shadow over Nato’s long-term future.
