The federal government has been urged to evacuate an Australian citizen who was seriously injured after stepping on a landmine while fighting for Ukraine on the country’s far eastern front.
Friends of the 38-year-old foreign fighter, who is being treated in a Ukrainian hospital, warn he needs urgent specialist treatment to avoid losing limbs and are lobbying Australian diplomats to intervene in his case.
