A former Australian soldier has been killed in Ukraine alongside a British colleague while both men were working for a charity that clears landmines in the war-torn country. The ABC has confirmed Nick Parsons, known as "Desmond" by his co-workers, died last week from injuries suffered near the eastern Ukraine city of Izyum. A third man who was also working for the UK and US-based Prevail Together organisation was severely injured in the incident that occurred on Tuesday.

“In theory Ben could still be court martialled for bringing the Navy into disrepute, but that seems very unlikely at this point. He has served his commendably for over 40 years. The investigation is still ongoing. There is no whiff of anything criminal” https://t.co/3TRXMv9mah
