The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) of Australia has confirmed volunteer Sage O'Donnell has been killed fighting in Ukraine.

According to 9News, the DFAT added that they were "providing consular assistance to the family".

"Sage passionately upheld his values and served here in his own country and most recently in Ukraine. Sage chose to take action based on his empathy for the Ukrainian people, and the injustice that is taking place. He fell in love with Ukraine and its culture, and was humbled by the kindness and hospitality within his new community,” his mother said.

As Ukrinform reported, in early November, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Australia expressed condolences to the family of volunteer Trevor Kjeldal, who was killed in action in Ukraine.
