James Scott Rhys Anderson, a British national captured by Russian forces, joined Ukraine's International Legion after serving as a signalman in the British army until 2023.
The footage of the captured British fighter, James Scott Rhys Anderson, has raised concerns about the status of foreign fighters and their rights under international law.
Yuri Podolyaka noted that Anderson was captured near Plekhovo, amidst ongoing battles in Kursk between Ukrainian and Russian forces, reflecting the complexity of foreign involvement.
The UK Foreign Office confirmed it is supporting Anderson's family, while the Ministry of Defence is yet to comment on the incident involving the captured Briton.
