James Scott Rhys Anderson was seized in November by President Putin’s forces. Moscow said he had been taken prisoner while participating in the Ukrainian army’s surprise offensive into the Kursk region, which borders Ukraine.
Russian investigators described him as a “mercenary”. The term is used by the Kremlin for all foreign fighters who volunteer to help Ukraine fight Putin’s invading army. They accused him of committing terrorist acts in Russia, as well as unspecified crimes against Russian civilians.
