‘Australian-supplied Bushmaster armoured vehicles have "performed masterfully" on the battlefields, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says.

In an address to the Lowy Institute on Thursday evening, he said he was grateful for the Bushmasters Australia had sent to Ukraine after he addressed the parliament in March.

"This equipment has performed masterfully in real combat operations," he said.

"The more weapons and ammunition we receive … the more Russia would feel the responsibility for violating international law.

"The aggressor will feel that he has little room for any escalation."

While not elaborating on exactly what arms Australia was supplying, he revealed more weapons were on the way to Ukraine.

"I don't want to go into details on what weapons … it is not only small arms but some heavy weapons as well," he said.’
