‘All we can do is hope and pray’: Matt Canavan on captured Australian

Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has reacted to news of a man from Melbourne being captured by Russians in the Donbas region. This comes as the Australian government is working on receiving updates on the location and wellbeing of 32-year-old Oscar Jenkins, who has been captured by Russian troops. “All we can do is hope and pray for this Australian man that he is treated with respect,” Mr Canavan told Sky News Australia. “I’m sure the Australian government will do what it can to help and support an Australian citizen. “And of course, this does confirm the wisdom of the Australian government’s advice for Australians not to travel to Ukraine, to not get involved in this conflict – it’s obviously a very high risk.”
