Australian freedom fighter dubbed 'the Ninja' has been killed fighting Russian forces in Ukraine.


Trevor Kjeldal, 40, from Brisbane, was reportedly killed in action in the Donbas region of Ukraine this week.


Mr Kjeldal, who was described as 'a very treasured and loved member' of his family, is believed to have arrived in Ukraine earlier this year.

Social media posts suggest he had been wounded in action in July - suffering near-fatal gunshot wounds - before bravely returning to the frontlines in September.

He was dubbed 'the Ninja' on social media, after causing a stir during his time on the frontlines
When he was injured, he suffered shrapnel wounds to the head.

However, he said he had no plans to return to Australia and wanted to remain in Ukraine until the war is over.

'I've beat the odds once, so let's just see if I can do it again,' Mr Kjedal said at the time.

Mr Kjedal is believed to have been serving in the 49th 'Select Carpathian' battalion of the Ukrainian army.

Just last month he told a Nine News crew he felt compelled to help in the war.

'Ukraine was in trouble, they needed people to come and help, so we came and helped,' he said.
His death was confirmed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, who say they are now providing assistance to his family.

He killed people too. He deserved to die in similar manner.
