An Australian soldier who spent several years fighting for Ukraine has been remembered as someone who "gave his life so others could keep theirs".

Brave and wonderful guy, sorry for his families loss :(

The title is misleading. He was not fighting for the Australian Defense Force or Australia. He is an Australian citizen who went to Ukraine to fight. No Australian soldier was killed.
