Australia again calls on Russia to end its war and adhere fully to its international law obligations, including concerning the protection of civilians and treatment of prisoners of war. Working with Ukraine & our partners, Australia supports a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

Today marks 3 years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine has bravely resisted Russia’s illegal war. Australia mourns the loss of life of Ukraine’s citizens and defenders, and the generational toll of Russia’s brutality. Australia continues to stand with Ukraine.

We just imposed more sanctions on those who enabled the Medibank attack in 2022, stealing sensitive data of millions of Aussies. Importantly these sanctions are against so-called bullet proof hosts, who provide the infra/services to enable cyber criminals to do their worst (1/3)

From our team to yours, wishing you a Merry Christmas and a peaceful new year
