Russia has given Australia a blunt warning after Anthony Albanese announced that he was considering joining the 'Coalition of the Willing' by sending peace groups to Ukraine.
The Prime Minister spoke with the British leader Sir Keir Starmer on Saturday, where he indicated his union to consider contributing to a coalition of the willing for Ukraine, “said from Laesing Street.
Albanian confirmed the details of the call and added on Sunday that “our two nations are very clear about our support for Ukraine … You can't have peace secrets without having peace.”
“I certainly said very clearly, publicly, repeatedly, that we would take into account participation in every peace mission in Ukraine,” he added.
But now Russia has returned and warns that the intention of the Australia to join 'the so -called coalition of the willing would have serious consequences'.
“Again, Western boots on the ground are unacceptable for Russia, and we will not remain passive observers,” said a statement of the Russian embassy.
'For those who are inclined to consider the above as a threat: it is not. It is a warning.
“Russia does not intend to harm Australians, and Canberra can easily prevent problems by simply abandoning irresponsible adventurism in the zone of the special military operation.”

The strict statement added: 'Russia has repeatedly made it clear that foreign military presence in Ukraine is totally unacceptable.
“That is why the idea is to use Western military quotas in Ukraine among the guise of peace enforcers intended to undermine peace efforts,” said it.
“Canberra stays firmly on the side of the war together with those in Europe who bet on continuing and escalating the conflict despite encouraging shifts to peace negotiations.”
But the Albanian government has refused to be grown, with a spokesperson for Foreign Minister Penny Wong who says the Sydney Morning Herald that “our message is to Russia: putting an end to your illegal invasion of Ukraine.”
“We will not be intimidated to work on a just peace for the people in Ukraine.”
In the meantime, opposition leader Peter Dutton has opposed the idea of ​​sending peacemakes to Ukraine.
'It is incredible that the prime minister is talking about moving troops from Australia to station them or to base them in Ukraine, when Italy, Germany, France, has not yet made a decision to base troops there. There is no peace to keep, “Mr Dutton said on Sunday.
'The prime minister, instead of shooting out of the hip, must make informed judgments about what is in the best interests in our country.
“My opinion is that base troops in Europe is currently the wrong decision for our country.”
