In October, he told Nine that his group intended to aid the Ukrainian people.
“We came and assisted,” he said. “Ukraine was in turmoil and they needed people to help.”
“Let’s just see if I can do it again, I suppose. I overcame the odds once.”
On Saturday, Kjeldal’s family and friends received a message of condolence from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
“The news is devastating. I remind people that travelling to Ukraine is not advised by DFAT “At a press conference in Queensland, he remarked.
