Reports of an Australian citizen detained by Russia

The Australian Government is making representations to the Russian Government.

We urge the Russian Government to fully adhere to its obligations under international humanitarian law, including with respect to prisoners of war.

Our immediate priority is understanding where Mr Jenkins is and confirming his wellbeing.

We are providing consular support to Mr Jenkins’ family.

I reiterate the Government’s clear advice to all Australians - do not travel to Ukraine
