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.

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.
