The combined effort of Western countries and liberal democracies supporting Ukraine’s defence against Russia’s war has been “impressive”, says former foreign minister Alexander Downer.
“If Ukraine can win the war and basically Ukraine has so far stopped Russia achieving its ambitions then that is going to be a huge setback for dictatorships around the world,” Mr Downer told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“So we need to make hard contribution to that effort and we are making hard contribution under the Morrison and the Albanese government.”
