Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Australia will send a “senior representative” to a meeting of European defence leaders in Paris as he considers sending peacekeepers as part of ending the war in Ukraine.

The prime minister on Sunday said he'd had a “very constructive discussion” with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer the previous evening about Australia potentially contributing to a “coalition of the willing for Ukraine.”
