Russian Forces Capture 32-Year-Old Australian Mercenary Oscar Jenkins Near Kramatorsk, First Time in Conflict
Dec 22, 2024, 01:15 PM
Russian forces have captured Oscar Jenkins, a 32-year-old Australian who was reportedly serving as a mercenary in Ukraine. This marks the first instance of an Australian mercenary being taken alive since the onset of the conflict. Jenkins, described as a biology teacher, was apprehended near Kramatorsk while fighting alongside the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In a video of his interrogation, he appeared confused about his situation, responding to Russian soldiers' questions about his desire to live. There are indications that a prisoner exchange may be in the works, involving Jenkins and a figure known as Aussie Cossack.
