First Western National Captured by Russian Forces

Reports from multiple sources indicate that a British national, James Scott Rhys Anderson, has been captured by Russian forces while fighting for Ukraine in the Kursk region. Anderson, a former British Army signalman, joined Ukraine’s International Legion after his military service. Videos have surfaced showing Anderson being interrogated, where he describes his journey to Ukraine and refers to his decision as a 'stupid idea.' This incident marks the first known case of a Western national captured on Russian soil during the conflict. The UK Foreign Office is reportedly supporting Anderson's family amid concerns for his safety. The situation highlights ongoing tensions in the region, with Ukrainian forces trying to defend the territory against Russian advances.
