An Australian humanitarian volunteer has been killed near Izyum in eastern Ukraine, and his name has not been disclosed.

Source: Sky News, referencing a statement from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Quote from Albanese: "Out of respect for the family's privacy and in accordance with our obligations, there is a limit to what we can publicly disclose at this time.

I can confirm that he was not involved in the conflict; he was a humanitarian volunteer."

Details: According to the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is providing support to the family of the deceased.

As reported by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, citing an unnamed military source in Ukraine, the volunteer and his British colleague were killed last week near Izyum from injuries sustained during an explosion of an improvised explosive device in a building.

Previously, it was reported that a British volunteer, 40-year-old Chris Garrett, who was involved in demining, also lost his life. It was noted that another man who was neutralizing munitions was killed, while a third was critically injured.
