Canberra slam Australian Russian Geling, who fought for Ukraine

Sydney: The Australian government said on Saturday it was “wasted” an Australian person for a 13-year-old penal colony sentence of a Russian-controlled court, who was captured while fighting for Ukraine.Jenkins, a 33-year-old Oscar from Melbourne, was convicted by the court in Ukraine’s Russian Eastern Lugansk region of being “in an armed struggle”, prosecutors said.The former biology teacher was ordered to give his time in “strict governance Dand Colony”.External Affairs Minister Penny Wong said, “Australian government has been given the Australian government and Australian man Oscar Jenkins in a 13 -year sentence.”The government has “clear” Moscow that Jenkins should be considered as prisoners of war, as a serving member of the regular Ukraine army, he said in a statement.The Foreign Minister said, “Russia has been forced to treat according to international human law, including human treatment.”Australia had “serious concerns” for Jenkins, he said, and was working with partners including Ukraine and The International Committee of the Red Cross to press for her welfare and release.Russia and its eastern Ukrainian proxy foreigners consider foreigners traveling to fight in Ukraine as “hire people”.

Glass cage

This enables them to prosecute fighters criminally, rather than capturing them as prisoners of war with security and rights under the Geneva Convention.Russia-Estal Prosecutors said on Friday that Jenkins “participated in fighter operations against Russian military personnel between March and December 2024”.He posted a video in which Jenkins stood in a court room behind a glass cage, his hand behind his back, and his expression was disappointing.In December 2024, Russian forces captured Jenkins.The same month, he appeared in a video shared by a Russian military blogger, in which he was roughly questioned and slapped on the face.It was believed that he was killed in captivity until Russia confirmed that he was alive.A later video showed him going through a medical examination, his prisoners heard joking in the background that his blood pressure “he was not dying”.The government of Australia said that it was providing consular assistance to Jenkins’ family.Australia opposed Ukraine’s Russian invasion in February 2022, condemning it as illegal and immoral.The Malaysian Airlines flight by Russian -manufactured missiles on Eastern Ukraine MH17 had already damaged relations with Moscow, resulting in 298 people, including 38 Australians.
