Australian foreign minister confirms teacher Oscar Jenkins is alive but held by Russia.

Australian foreign minister Penny Wong confirmed that Oscar Jenkins, a 32-year-old teacher fighting for Ukraine, is alive and in Russian custody. Jenkins was captured in December, and while Russia has confirmed his condition is "normal," the Australian government urges his humane treatment and release, as mandated by international law. Australia is working with Ukraine and the Red Cross to verify his welfare independently.
