Australia Conducts Urgent Inquiries Into Execution of 32-Year-Old Melbourne Teacher and First Australian POW, Oscar Jenkins, by Russian Forces
Jan 14, 2025, 11:30 PM
The Australian government is conducting urgent inquiries following reports that Oscar Jenkins, a 32-year-old Melbourne teacher and volunteer fighter with no prior military experience, was executed by Russian forces after being captured in Ukraine. Jenkins, who had been fighting with Ukrainian forces, is believed to be the first Australian held as a prisoner of war by Russian forces in Ukraine. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has expressed grave concerns for Jenkins' welfare and has summoned the Russian ambassador to seek clarification on his status. Reports suggest that Jenkins' body has been found, though these claims remain unverified. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has stated that if the reports of Jenkins' harm are confirmed, Australia will take the strongest possible action against Russia. Foreign Minister Penny Wong has indicated that all options, including the expulsion of Russia's ambassador, are under consideration. Jenkins' reported execution has sparked significant concern and calls for action from both the government and opposition.
