Foreign Minister Marise Payne says Australia supports Ukraine’s “sovereignty and territorial integrity” amid tensions between the former Soviet state and Russia.
It comes after the White House warned Russia could invade Ukraine within a week and has urged all Americans to leave immediately.
“We continue to urge Russia to remain engaged in reciprocal diplomatic dialogue on what would be an extraordinary unilateral action,” Ms Payne said.
“We support Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity; we support a unified European and NATO response, and we are standing together with Ukraine at this very difficult time.”
