Peace through strength not surrender

The free world must give Ukraine the capabilities it needs to fight against Russia and help give them something to fight for.

Peace depends on the defeat of Russia

700,000 Russian troops have failed to subdue Ukraine, and Russia’s offer to declare a truce in return for all the territory it wants and Ukraine’s exclusion from NATO has been rejected. The latest international Summit on Ukraine should demand a complete Russian withdrawal and restoration of Ukraine’s territory and independence – terms which Russia agreed by treaty in 2004.

Slava Ukraini

Russian propagandists and their western enablers have long tried to deny Ukraine’s right to exist, but their arguments are as specious as Russia’s current assault is brutal.

Don’t blame the west for Russia’s war

Russian propagandists and anti-western agitators will blame anyone and anything except the greed and brutality of Vladimir Putin for Russia’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine.

The war the west must win

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a direct assault on the Western liberal order, and for our peace, freedom and principles to survive, we must rise to the challenge and do whatever it takes to defeat the aggressor.

Ten years after

It is ten years since Russia illegally annexed Crimea on March 18 2014. Subsequent efforts to firmly integrate the peninsula into the Russian Federation, however, have been far from the success story that the Kremlin often likes to portray.

Be brave like Ukraine

The Pope may be calling for Ukraine to surrender, but the people of Ukraine will fight on for their freedom, their culture and their lives. We must do all we can to support them.

King of lies

Russian propaganda and disinformation continue to pose a global risk. Ukrainian territories that Russia unlawfully occupies have served as a testing ground for the Kremlin’s information operations and provide us with a glimpse into its present and future propaganda tactics.

The end of the affair

As Russia’s stalled invasion of Ukraine drags into a third year, what are the prospects to an end to the conflict, and could it escalate into a full-scale war between Russia and NATO?

Ukraine is fighting our war

On the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of his country, Ambassador Vasyl Myroshnychenko has delivered a blunt and heartfelt message to Australia—Ukraine is fighting our war.

Helping Ukraine to help ourselves

To recall Margaret Thatcher’s choice turn of phrase to George H.W. Bush when confronting Saddam Hussein’s flagrant aggression against Kuwait in 1990, this is no time “to go wobbly” on Australia’s support for Ukraine.

Boots on the ground

The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has said sending western troops to fight the Russians in Ukraine “could not be ruled out”.
