Georganas moved the motion to mark the anniversary of the invasion and reaffirm support for Ukraine. Georganas detailed Australia's provision of over $1.5 billion in aid, including $1.3 billion in military assistance, making Australia the largest non-NATO contributor. Georganas noted the deployment of E-7A Wedgetail aircraft under Operation Kudu and the imposition of over 1,500 sanctions against Russia. Georganas argued that yielding to Russia would undermine international law and encourage other aggressors.
