Family confirms Australian’s death battling Kyiv’s army in Ukraine
A guy from Australia has passed away in Ukraine as conflict rages there, according to his family and the Australian government.
Trevor Kjeldal claimed to be engaged in front-line combat. Kjeldal said he was assisting Kyiv’s military in the fight in images and words posted on his Instagram account beginning in May. Authorities made no mention of how he passed away.
“Officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade are providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian who died in Ukraine,” the department said in an email to CNN Saturday. “We send our deepest condolences to the family and request their privacy be respected during this difficult time.”
His passing was confirmed by Kjeldal’s family in a different statement.
When media asked Australian officials if Kjeldal had been to Ukraine to fight on the front lines, they did not react right away.
Media is unable to independently corroborate Kjeldal’s activities in Ukraine or whether he perished in hostilities.
