 United States, Australia preparing joint military aid package to Ukraine. The United States and Australia are working on a joint military aid package for Ukraine, which may be announced by the end of May. According to Australian Associated Press, information about a joint military package comes ahead of President Joe Biden visiting Australia. We are a big supporter of the Ukrainian efforts to repel the Russian invaders and that will be represented in the budget, Australia's treasurer Jim Chalmers told reporters in Canberra. Ukraine's ambassador to Australia Vassil Myroshnikenko said he wouldn't speculate on any upcoming package but welcomed any assistance. It's too early to talk about it but it would be good if something like that came because that would help Ukraine a lot, he told. It is noted that Kiev submitted a wish list of aid, which includes hockey-armored vehicles, artillery and ammunition.
