A New Zealand aid worker preparing to return to Ukraine has come across one former New Zealand Defence force worker in his time in the invaded country.
The Defence Force is still unable to rule out the possibility of any of its staff being in Ukraine, after Corporal Dominic Abelen was killed while fighting there on leave without pay.
The Ministry of Foreign Affiars says there are now three New Zealanders registered on SafeTravel as being in Ukraine.
Mike Seawright runs ReliefAid and spent about five months in Ukraine after Russia invaded, and will go back in a few weeks.
