‘Puny assistance’: Tony Abbott says Ukraine ‘haven’t been given enough to win’

Former prime minister Tony Abbott says the Ukrainians are “defiant but somewhat despondent” as they haven’t been given in a timely fashion the help they need to win their war against Russia. “They have been given enough not to lose but they haven’t been given enough to win,” Mr Abbott told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “Australia has been, frankly, embarrassingly dithering … it’s relatively puny assistance to Ukraine.”
