Stalled Ukraine security pact could leave Australia ‘fighting with one hand behind its back’ (opens original article in a new tab)

A stalled security pact between Australia and Ukraine has hindered Australia's access to Ukraine's military technology and expertise, with ongoing negotiations and potential meetings planned to resolve the issue.

• A proposed security treaty with Ukraine has been stalled for almost a year, limiting Australia's access to Ukraine's military technology expertise.
• Ukrainian officials emphasize the importance of the agreement for Australia to gain insights into modern warfare, particularly drone and counter-drone technologies.
• Negotiations remain ongoing, with a potential meeting between Australian and Ukrainian leaders at the UN in September as the next opportunity to finalize the deal.
