Ukraine updates: Australia to consider peacekeeping mission DW 03/09/2025
Briefly

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed potential consideration for Australia to join a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, although he highlighted that it is premature given the current lack of peace. During discussions with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Albanese reiterated their nations' strong support for Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict. He stated the necessity of peace before deploying peacekeepers and reaffirmed Australia's commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty. Additionally, Australia plans to participate in a future meeting with defense chiefs in Paris to discuss further assistance for Ukraine.
Both of our nations are very clear about our support for Ukraine, and it of course is too early you can't have peacekeeping forces without having peace.
I certainly have said very clearly, publicly, repeatedly, that we would give consideration to participating in any peacekeeping mission in the Ukraine.
We would give consideration to participating in any peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, reaffirmed our commitment to the brave people of Ukraine.
Australia plans to send a senior representative to a meeting of defense chiefs in Paris on Tuesday to discuss future assistance to Ukraine.
