Australia also will supply 105mm artillery ammunition for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“Ukraine has demonstrated strength, resilience and courage in defending against Russia’s unjust invasion. Australia is proud to be one of the largest non-NATO contributors in support of Ukraine, and will continue to support Ukraine to end the war on its own terms… This package will continue to support Ukrainians on the front line,” Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles said.
