Zakharova promised to "thank" Australia for abandoning Bushmaster APU

The Russian Federation will convey to Australia the gratitude of the Russian military, who will now use the Australian Bushmaster armored personnel carriers abandoned by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the special operation zone. This was announced on March 14 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in her Telegram channel.

The diplomat made a repost of a publication by TV journalist Vladimir Solovyov, who posted a video on his Telegram page with the commander of the Hades group of the Akhmat special forces. In the footage, the military man thanks the Australian Ministry of Defense for the abandoned military equipment.

"Our embassy in Canberra will definitely bring this information to the general Australian public. And that their Ministry of Defense is good, and that the cars are even better," Zakharova concluded.

APU is not so clear: is the EU capable of replacing American arms supplies to Kiev

And what are the Ukrainian troops losing without the support of the United States?

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on March 9 that the country would consider sending a "peacekeeping mission" to Ukraine. At the same time, Albaniz noted that there are no plans to send any contingent in the near future.
