Proud to see AFUO Chair Kateryna Argyrou quoted in The Nightly ‘s latest analysis on AUKUS and russia’s escalating rhetoric toward the Indo-Pacific – standing alongside voices like former PM Scott Morrison and leading foreign policy experts.
Kateryna made clear the throughline between russia’s aggression in Ukraine and its posturing in our region: russia’s Pacific commentary reflects the same pattern of “manufacturing grievance narratives to justify its own aggression.”
Our community’s message is simple but urgent – what happens in Ukraine matters outside of Ukraine. Sovereignty challenged in Europe sets a precedent the whole world watches, including here in the Pacific.
This is why the AFUO keeps advocating: Australia’s support for Ukraine is a matter of Australia’s own security.
