澳大利亚教师Mark Lowe近期访问了被关押在俄罗斯控制乌克兰监狱中的澳籍外国战斗人员Oscar Jenkins，随后敦促澳大利亚政府与俄罗斯进行对话以推动其释放1。现年34岁的Jenkins因作为雇佣兵被卢甘斯克人民共和国法院判处13年有期徒刑，Lowe声称澳大利亚政府已将其遗弃1。
在狱中，Jenkins表示愿意为俄罗斯作战，称"我已写了一份声明，说我很乐意作为士兵为俄罗斯而战"1。Jenkins目前状况良好但显得消瘦，每日遵循严格作息：凌晨5时30分起床，6时听俄罗斯国歌，白天在花园劳动，晚间22时熄灯，住在容纳40人的宿舍1。
澳大利亚外交贸易部发言人回应称，政府"继续要求乌克兰在与俄罗斯的战俘交换中优先考虑Jenkins先生的释放"1。然而乌克兰驻澳大利亚大使Vasyl Myroshnychenko指出，俄罗斯拒绝承认Jenkins的战俘身份，此举违反《日内瓦公约》1。Lowe在弗拉迪沃斯托克居住4年，正是通过与俄罗斯政府官员的关系才获得了探监权1。
Australian educator Mark Lowe has visited Oscar Jenkins, a 34-year-old Australian citizen imprisoned in a Russian-controlled facility in eastern Ukraine, and is calling on the government to negotiate his release.1 Jenkins was captured by Russian forces in December 2024 and sentenced to 13 years in prison on mercenary charges by a court in the Luhansk People's Republic.1 Lowe, who has lived in Vladivostok for four years and leveraged connections with Russian government officials to secure the prison visit, describes Jenkins as abandoned by Canberra and urges diplomatic engagement with Moscow.
During the visit, Jenkins indicated his willingness to serve Russia militarily, telling Lowe: "I've written a statement saying that I'd be happy to fight as a soldier for Russia."1 Lowe reported that Jenkins is in reasonable health but visibly thin, and described his daily routine, which begins at 5:30 a.m. followed by the Russian national anthem at 6 a.m., daytime work in the prison garden, and lights out at 10 p.m. in a dormitory housing 40 inmates.1
Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said officials "continue to request Ukraine prioritise Mr Jenkins release in a future PoW swap with Russia."1 However, Ukraine's ambassador to Australia, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, stated that Russia refuses to recognize Jenkins as a prisoner of war, a stance he characterized as a violation of the Geneva Conventions.1
