Australia has been an important supporter of Ukraine. The recent pledge by the Albanese Government to gift 49 decommissioned M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine is historic. It is the largest donation of tanks to Ukraine from any country in the world and comes at a critical moment. More recently, the Government’s donation of 14 rigid hull boats has been welcomed, given their value for Ukraine’s maritime and coastal defence.

Australia has been an important supporter of Ukraine. The recent pledge by the Albanese Government to gift 49 decommissioned M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine is historic. It is the largest donation of tanks to Ukraine from any country in the world and comes at a critical moment. More recently, the Government’s donation of 14 rigid hull boats has been welcomed, given their value for Ukraine’s maritime and coastal defence.

The Australian Government also recently announced that displaced Ukrainians on 786 visas will have the opportunity to apply for permanent residency. In doing so, the Government has provided displaced Ukrainians in Australia stability and confidence in their future and supported their desire to continue rebuilding their lives and livelihoods.

Our community is deeply grateful for the Government’s decisions and leadership, so this is a time to thank all Parliamentarians for their support of Ukraine.

By adapting and sending the template letter on this page, you can make sure your local Member of Parliament and senior Government leaders understand your gratitude. You can remind our leaders that their decisions about Australian support matter on the ground in Ukraine. Their decisions also help those Ukrainians who have been displaced by russian aggression and violence.

We are approaching 1,000 days since Russia launched its full-scale, illegal and immoral invasion of Ukraine. Over this time, our community has advocated for more military aid, and the Government has listened. The Government has also listened to the strong desire of displaced Ukrainians in Australia to call Australia home, and have offered a permanent residency option.

You can help amplify our thank you to the Australian Government and political leaders for making decisions which have supported Ukraine and Ukrainians, by writing an email to your local Member of Parliament and senior Government leaders. We have suggested text for your email, but you are free to compose your own message.

Our political leaders, regardless of their party, are a force for good in sustaining political support and community interest in Ukraine’s fight.

In November 2024, our community will mark 1,000 days since the start of Russia’s full-scale, illegal and immoral invasion of Ukraine. The costs for Ukraine have been enormous.

The recent pledge by the Albanese Government to gift 49 decommissioned M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine is historic. It is the largest donation of tanks from any country in the world and comes at a critical moment for Ukraine. The Australian Government also recently announced that displaced Ukrainians who are in Australia on 786 visas will have an opportunity to apply for permanent residency, and the commitment of 14 rigid hull boats to help Ukraine’s maritime and coastal defence.

The cross-party support for these decisions has been deeply heartening for the Australian-Ukrainian community.

I write to thank you for all that you have done to ensure Ukraine is not forgotten and that Ukrainians continue to be provided valuable support, be it in Ukraine or in Australia.

Ukraine has many needs and the fight is far from over. Australia has stood side-by-side with Ukraine from the start, helping Ukrainians to push back against a criminal, genocidal invasion, uphold the rules-based global order, and support democracy and freedom.

Thank you again for believing in Ukraine.
