PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | NOVEMBER 25, 2024
A British soldier is allegedly being held by Putin’s forces after being captured while he was fighting for Ukraine in the Kursk region. The Brit was paraded in front of the cameras (today) where he gave his name as James Scott Rhys Anderson.
Anderson – or possibly Andersen – claimed he served in the British Army from 2019 to 2023.
He says he was fired from the British army and then applied successfully to join Ukraine’s International Brigade.
However, the reason for his alleged dismissal has not been said.
The 22-year-old claims to have served in the 22nd Signal Regiment, a unit of the Royal Corps of Signals in the British Army, which provides cutting-edge communication and information systems support to the fighting force.
In front of cameras for Kremlin media, Anderson was recorded in two videos where he was asked about his time in the British army.
He said he was in the ’22 Signal Regiment, just a private. I was a signalman. 1 Signal Brigade, 22 Signal Regiment. 252 Squadron.

Anderson went on to explain why he joined Ukrainian forces fighting Russia on the frontline.
He said: ‘Okay – so when I left, got fired from my job, I applied on the International Legion [of Ukraine] webpage.
‘I had just lost everything. I just lost my job.
‘My dad was away in prison. I saw it on the TV. It’s a stupid idea. I flew to Krakow, Poland, from London Luton.
‘Bus from there to Medyka in Poland, on the Ukraine border [and then to Ukraine].’
Russia later revealed a second video of the British serviceman.
He appeared at one point in another sickening propaganda interrogation video seemingly with tape over his eyes.
Later he was not taped over the eyes but his hands were taped and claimed he was from Oxford.
This may imply he had been at Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC) in Dartmouth and Oxford University – but this was not clarified.
Anderson’s words in the the Russian propaganda video made little sense.
‘I learned for one year. And I stay for four years,’ he said.
‘Commander, take my **** and tell me to come… take my passport, everything, my telephone… I don’t want to be here.’
He said he had been with Ukrainian forces for four months.
Anderson implied his role was to teach Ukrainians ‘how to shoot, how to…patrol, maybe evacuation’.
A Russian military source told the state-controlled TASS news agency: ‘A mercenary from Britain has been taken prisoner in the Kursk region.’
The report said: ‘Overall, the footage will be useful and will be able to tell a lot of interesting things about communications and its structure in the British army.’
Ukraine holds several hundred square kilometres of the Kursk region, which borders the northeast of Ukraine, but Putin’s forces are gradually pushing them back.
Inside Kursk, it has been claimed that North Korean soldiers are fighting alongside Russians.
The capture comes after a top Russian general, along with 500 North Korean soldiers, were allegedly killed by British Storm Shadow missiles in a devastating attack.
The strike launched by Ukraine on November 20 wiped out Lt-Gen Valery Solodchuk and also resulted with 18 Putin officers reported lost, with a further 18 wounded, it has been claimed.

Earlier reports suggested that a Kim Jong-un general had also been left injured in the attack as he commanded troops backing Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine invasion.
The strike carried out by Ukraine was the first time UK Storm Shadow missiles had been used blast targets deep inside Russia.
It is understood that the pinpoint missiles had hit a Putin command post and military facility with the scale of Russian losses now alleged to be enormous.
