The federal government is aiming to combat claims it's wavering in support of the war-torn country.

Defence Minister Richard Marles will travel to Ukraine, aiming to dispel claims of faltering support for the under-siege nation in its war against Russia.

Australia once boasted about being the largest non-NATO donor to the Ukrainian military, but it is now among the lowest of all per capita donor nations as a proportion of gross domestic product. Marles is expected to use the trip to announce a new military contribution in the form of drone supplies to help Ukraine.
