British man captured while fighting with Ukraine | BBC News


A British man has been captured by Russian forces while fighting for Ukraine, according to reports.

In a video circulating online, a man dressed in military clothing identifies himself as James Scott Rhys Anderson, 22, and says he formerly served in the British Army.

Russian state news agency Tass quotes a military source saying that what they call a "UK mercenary" had been "taken prisoner in the Kursk area" of Russia, part of which Ukraine has held since launching a surprise offensive in August.

UK Foreign Secretary, David Lammy said: "We will do all we can to offer this UK national all the support we can."
