The front page of the Sydney Morning Herald reports that Ukraine is worried about being forgotten in the war.
Australia has not committed to providing any new military equipment to Ukraine for almost a year. As Russian President Vladimir Putin intensifies bombing attacks on Kyiv and other major cities, Ukrainian military leaders have urgently appealed for assistance.
Ukraine also urged Australia to join an international coalition to help the country clear mines, which would utilize Australia's world-leading expertise in mine clearance technology.
According to Ukrainian officials, missile and drone attacks by Russia on Kyiv last week resulted in 25 deaths, including four children, making it the second-largest air strike on the capital since the war began.
Since the Australian government announced in October last year that it would send 49 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks to the battlefield, the Albanese government of Australia has not announced any donation of military hardware to Ukraine. Major Andrei Berezovsky said that Ukraine thanks Australia for a total of 1.5 billion Australian dollars in aid, but he said that despite U.S. President Donald Trump's desire to facilitate a ceasefire, he is worried that his country is being neglected as the war continues.
