Anthony Albanese has said he is 'open' to sending Australian peacekeeping troops to just hours after a defence minister dismissed the suggestion.
The Prime Minister and Opposition leader both praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr following a heated meeting with US President last Friday.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr Trump announced a pause on all military aid to Ukraine and issued an ultimatum to President Zelensky.
Mr Albanese said the government had not been approached with any requests yet, but was open to potential peacekeeping operations.
'There are proposals being discussed. If a request is made, then we would give consideration to it,' he told reporters in on Tuesday.
'Australia has historically played an important role in areas, including in Africa, in Cyprus, in a range of peacekeeping areas.
'We want to see peace in Ukraine. But we want to make sure that the illegal, immoral actions of Russia are not rewarded, and that Vladimir Putin and his designs - which are imperialistic, not just on Ukraine, but on other countries - are not rewarded or encouraged.'
Mr Albanese said Australia's alliance with the US remained important to the nation.
'Australia determines our foreign policy,' he said.
'We do it in Australia's national interests. And it is in Australia's national interest to stand with Ukraine, and that's what my government is doing.'
Australia has committed $1.5billion in aid to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion three years ago.
More to come.
