Russia has invaded Ukraine, it murders prisoners and targets civilians, killing women and children. 

Australia has a battalion of decommissioned Abrams main battle tanks, these vehicles are far superior to Russian tanks. By donating the 59 tanks to Ukraine Australia can help Ukraine drive Russia out of it’s territory and bring an end to Russia’s brutal war.

As Trump threatens to withdraw support for the Ukrainian democracy it is more important than ever for democracies across the world including Australia to stand against the evil despot Putin, stand by the international rule of law and show its support for Ukraine and provide significant military support. A battalion of modern western tanks will represent Australia’s most significant commitment.
