Minister Sibiga said that Russia does not want peace and is trying to expand the war by involving the DPRK. Australia will consider Ukraine's request for additional Bushmasters and weapons.

The Russian Federation does not want peace and is doing everything to expand the war. Peace can only be achieved by force and by increasing the cost of war for Russia.

This was stated by Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga during a joint press conference with his Australian counterpart Penny Wong, reports UNN.

Russia does not want peace and is doing everything to expand the war. From the involvement of North Korean troops to the use of medium-range ballistic missiles. In such circumstances, peace can only be achieved by force, strengthening Ukraine and increasing the cost of war for the aggressor

- Sibiga said. 

He emphasized that the situation on the battlefield remains very difficult, and the need to strengthen Ukrainian soldiers remains extremely urgent.

That is why I have requested additional military support, including Australian Bushmaster armored vehicles and other weapons

- Sibiga said. 

Wong, in turn, said that she would pass these requests on to Australia for consideration.
