**British Man Captured in Russia**
A Russian court has confirmed that a British man, James Scott Rhys Anderson, 22, was captured in the Kursk region of Russia. Anderson is accused of participating in hostilities in the area.
Anderson had been fighting for Ukraine and appeared in a video online saying he had served in the British Army. He said he joined the Ukraine’s International Legion after losing his job and seeing reports about the war on TV.
**Court Decision**
The Russian court has ordered Anderson to be held in custody, citing that he is suspected of committing serious crimes. The court also said that this decision can be appealed.
**Reaction from Home**
Anderson’s father, Scott Anderson, spoke out earlier this week saying that his son had begged him not to go to Ukraine. He said his son was frightened and worried when he appeared in the video.
The Foreign Secretary for the UK has spoken out about the case, saying they will do all they can to support Anderson.
