The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation captured the Australian from the Armed Forces: the country's power is studying the roller on the network (video)

The video published in Russian Telegram accounts shows a man with a dirty face, which is interrogated in the forest area by other men. On the footage he is beaten several times on the head. A man with his hands on camera is represented by 32-year-old Oscar Jenkins and says he lives in Australia and Ukraine. Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanizi told reporters on Monday, December 23 that the country's government was looking for information through the Australian Embassy in Moscow.

"These are alarming news, and we work through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to provide support, including this gentleman. They try to find out the details and facts that are there," Albanizi said. He also added that the Russians are known to often spread incorrect information. In a video that CNN has failed to geolosis, Jenkins seems to be difficult to understand the questions that he is asked in Russian. It is unclear whether he spoke under coercion.

He is asked why he is in Ukraine, to which he replied that he was a soldier. Speaking a mixture of English, Ukrainian and Russian, he said he worked as a teacher in China and a student in Australia. The Linkedin profile under Oscar Jenkins stated that he was a student Melbourne Grammar School before studying biomedicine at Monasha University in Melbourne. The page also lists work in China in several years since October 2015, in particular as a teacher at the University in Tianjin.

Australia has long supported Ukraine in its fight against Russian troops. The green continent has allocated more than $ 1. 5 billion from the beginning of a full -scale invasion in February 2022. Foreign Minister Penny Wong visited Ukraine last week to announce the re -opening of the Australian Embassy in Kiev before the ambassador's arrival next month. The embassy remained closed since 2022 due to "increased risk" and was temporarily transported to Poland to avoid Russian blows.
