australia - Australian foreign minister confirms Oscar Jenkins is alive, raising concerns over his well-being and potential use as a bargaining chip by Russia.

Australian Prisoner of War Oscar Jenkins Reportedly Alive

Australian foreign minister Penny Wong confirms that Oscar Jenkins, an Australian prisoner of war, is alive and in custody, dispelling previous reports of his death. In December, images of Jenkins being captured by a Russian soldier in the Donetsk region of Ukraine circulated worldwide. Jenkins, a volunteer with the Ukrainian army, was seen in military attire with a dirty face, hands bound with tape, and subjected to physical violence by the Russian soldier.

A month later, rumors surfaced that Jenkins had been executed by the enemy, but Australian authorities refrained from confirming his death. Recent information from Russia revealed that Jenkins is alive but concerns remain about his condition. Collaboration between Australia, Ukraine, and the Red Cross is underway to ascertain Jenkins' physical and mental well-being.

Despite the positive development of Jenkins being alive, Australian authorities remain cautious due to Russia's history of treating foreign soldiers fighting in Ukraine as criminals rather than legitimate combatants under international law. There are fears that Jenkins could be used as a bargaining tool in prisoner exchanges between Russia and Ukraine. The Australian government warns of a strong response should any harm befall Jenkins.
