Russia-Ukraine war

Mr TARLAMIS: Also I would like to acknowledge the people of Ukraine, our Ukrainian-Australian community and all who are affected by the unjustified acts of violence that are being perpetrated against them. They are enduring a difficult and dangerous situation at the present time. The footage of the destruction and heartbreaking scenes of innocent people being injured and killed by the senseless Russian attacks and shelling as well as the displacement of so many civilians, including women and children, has inspired worldwide condemnation—and rightfully so. War should never be an option, and a peaceful resolution cannot come soon enough. My thoughts are with all those affected by this unnecessary conflict in both Ukraine and Australia, and I stand in solidarity with them. The fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people is an inspiration to freedom-loving people all over the world.
