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

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has warned he will take the "strongest action possible" against Russia if reports Australian prisoner of war Oscar Jenkins has been killed are proven. The 32-year-old former teacher from Melbourne was filmed after having been captured by Russian soldiers last year while overseas fighting for Ukraine.

Australia should downgrade diplomatic relations with Russia if the killing of prisoner of war Oscar Jenkins is verified, the nation's Ukrainian community says.

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.

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.

A foreign soldier who trained Oscar Jenkins to fight in Ukraine accused Russian troops of torturing and executing the Australian man to make an example of him.
