Summary

A video allegedly showing the capture and interrogation of Australian Oscar Jenkins, who fought for Ukraine, has raised concerns.

In the footage, Jenkins, bound and struck during questioning, identifies himself as a 32-year-old biologist.

The Australian government is working to verify the video and ensure his wellbeing, urging Russia to uphold international humanitarian law for prisoners of war.

Ukrainian Australian groups called for urgent efforts to secure Jenkins’ release.
