How Ukraine sank Russia’s navy

Ukraine has resisted the Russian invasion on land and in the air, but its most surprising successes have come in a theater where few expected Ukraine to prevail: the Black Sea.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ukraine at the crossroads

Divided Americans and apathetic Europeans must double down on military, economic and political support for Ukraine or risk the spectre of a resurgent Vladimir Putin gloating in victory.

A tough year ahead for Ukraine

Europe is finally beginning to wake up to the reality a Trump-led US could abandon NATO, in addition to Ukraine, but whether European nations are able to overcome their institutional inertia and webs of entangled interests to stoutly resist Russia on their own remains an open question.

The horror, the horror

Unmarked graves, abducted children, raped women, murdered civilians, blasted landscapes, deserted towns, violent repression and cultural erasure are just part of the devastating toll of Russia’s bestial invasion of Ukraine.
