Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says his government will take the “strongest action possible” if Russia has harmed an Australian who was taken prisoner while fighting for Ukraine

The Albanese government has left the door open to expelling Russia’s envoy if reports captured Australian fighter Oscar Jenkins has been executed are true.

Anthony Albanese has vowed to take the 'strongest action possible' against Russia if it is confirmed that Australian man Oscar Jenkins has died since being captured fighting in Ukraine.

Grave fears for Australian foreign fighter and Russian prisoner Oscar Jenkins were growing on Tuesday night, after Russia’s Ambassador to Canberra was hauled in over unconfirmed reports the former Melbourne Grammar boy had been executed by Vladimir Putin’s soldiers.

Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Wednesday his government will take the "strongest action possible" if Russia has harmed an Australian who was taken prisoner while fighting for Ukraine.

We’ll await the facts to come out, but if there has been any harm caused to Oscar Jenkins, that’s absolutely reprehensible and the Australian government will take the strongest action possible,' says

Oscar Jenkins, an Australian teacher fighting for Ukraine, was reportedly captured and interrogated by Russian soldiers. His status and whereabouts are unknown.

In response to these reports, the Russian ambassador in Canberra was summoned to the Australian Foreign Ministry, which reiterated that Russia must adhere to international law regarding the treatment of prisoners of war.

If those hostages aren’t back, I don’t want to hurt your negotiation, if they’re not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East. It will not be good for Hamas, it will not be good for anyone.

It would be a tragedy if we were to go back onto Peter Dutton's rusty track, given the progress already made with cheap renewables just in the last three years.
