Ukraine’s request for Aussie help
As concerns rise over Russia’s attacks this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked for Aussie military help to train new troops – something Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is considering. If Australia does help, Albanese says they won’t go to Ukraine but would head to the UK where they’ll work alongside other trainers, including New Zealand and Canada. Meanwhile, Russia has detained 8 people over Saturday’s explosion on the bridge linking Russia to Crimea – 5 are Russians. And US President Joe Biden yesterday said that Russian President Vladimir Putin “totally miscalculated” how the invasion of Ukraine would be received but doesn’t believe he will use nuclear weapons. That’s a different tune to last week when Biden said the Russian president “was not joking” when he raised nuclear threats.
