What could Australia even do? The article mentions Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 and how they kept relations with Russia through all of that. An Australian chap who voluntarily went to fight for Ukraine and got killed isn’t going to be able to conjure much reason to change that.
What’s important here is that the teacher was captured. And killing captured prisoners is a war crime. Australia is not talking about Australians dying on the field or getting captured, they are talking about Russia possibly executing a prisoner of war.
File a strongly worded letter with the department of filing strongly worded letters, and then send out a press packet saying they’ve done it.
Fuck all, it’s grandstanding.
Yeah that’s what I’m not understanding. He voluntarily joined the foreign legion. If he was captured then tortured or executed that’s one thing. Tragic, but he knew the risks.
Send weapons.

Corruption is a serious problem but it is a different problem. It is possible to help Ukraine without corruption. A bit of extra transparency would be a nice “fuck you” when fighting a very corrupt regime.
