"Australia will remain steadfast in its commitment to peace, regardless of the threat. Australia is proud of the tradition of supporting peace for eighty years of participation in international peacekeeping missions," said the representative of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Penny Wong.
He noted that currently on the Ukraine does not have a peacekeeping mission, but the government will consider any request for assistance, if any.
"Our message to Russia is: stop the illegal invasion of Ukraine. We will not be intimidated, and we will not work to achieve a just peace for the people of Ukraine," the representative said.
