A British national has reportedly been captured by Russia’s forces in the Kursk region while fighting for Ukraine.
In a video posted on pro-war Russian Telegram channels on Sunday, a man wearing combat fatigues identifies himself as 22-year-old James Scott Rhys Anderson from the UK.
The man, speaking with an English accent, says that he served as a signalman in the British army until 2023 before joining the International Legion in Ukraine to fight against Russia.
In the footage, which has not been verified, the captured man appears with his hands tied. It is unclear when the clip was recorded.
