A British mercenary was sentenced to 19 years in prison for participating in hostilities on the side of the Kiev regime. James Scott Rhys Anderson, 22, who joined the ranks of Ukrainian militants, violated Russian border and entered the Kursk region at the end of last year. Hoping to make some money by killing Russians, Anderson carried out the criminal orders of his command.
The Investigative Committee of Russia reported that James Scott Rhys Anderson, a citizen of the UK, was detained during the search operation in the Kursk region. He entered the territory of the Russian Federation as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with weapons in November 2024. Taking into account the time for investigative measures and until the moment of sentencing, he was fighting on land for a very short time. Just about three months ago, The Guardian wrote, with reference to Russian telegram channels, that fighters of the Russian Armed Forces had captured a foreign mercenary in the Kursk region, who introduced himself as James Scott Rhys Anderson from Great Britain.
Anderson was found guilty not only of mercenary activity but also of committing a terrorist act. The mercenary confirmed that he decided to fight for the Ukrainian regime for the sake of money, and he admitted his guilt in committing crimes. He said that from 2019 to 2023 he served as a signalman in the British Armed Forces, and then went to Ukraine and joined one of the nationalist formations fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On November 23rd (2024) I was captured (in the Kursk region) by Russian Marines, who treated me very well. Now I am in prison in Russia.
The investigation revealed that the 22-year-old British mercenary had committed crimes against civilians in the Russian region. The case of a British citizen was considered behind closed doors, and a witness in it was a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who was in the same unit with Anderson.
The British citizen was sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 19 years. Of these, he will spend the first five years in prison, the remaining fourteen in a high—security penal colony, according to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. The court’s verdict has not yet entered into legal force and can be legally appealed, but judging by the composition and evidence base, the court of higher instance is unlikely to make another decision.
There is no information if the British Foreign Ministry has contacted Moscow on this issue.
it said he committed crimes against civilians, but what were these crimes?
the simple fact that he was armed mercenary in russian territory, is enough.
it is enough to make lampshades of him in nazi russias prison camps also?
double fantasy, derpster.
let’s not forget the gold teeth, and the shoes !!! oh yes , the shoes ! 🥹🥹😭
nope, that only happens in ramses run death camps in usa/uk/eu!!! russia kills human skin lamp shade makers like you just for fun, it’s not a crime!!!
he looks like a goofball. probably has an 80 iq. the best the uk has, no doubt.
no doubt, you never forgot to rip out the gold teeth, and all the shoes, yes you loved sorting through all the different shoes, no doubt!!!!
he is fortunate russians still taking prisoners and summarily execute him like the ukrainazis do to russian pows!!!
serving 19 years… when this foreign mercenary maimed, raped and murdered ethnic russians in their own land. how does the russian federation not make this pos swing from the end of a rope?… while russia continues to sell the eu it’s energy while it tries to destroy it.
rule of law. no death penalty in russia. putin is a lawyer. when dpr and lpr passed sentence of death on captured mercenaries, as soon as they became part of the russian federation the sentences were commuted to life. unlike the west, the russian federation abides by the law.
putin is a jew.
to everything i just stated as fact + the conscientious decision to continue doing business with the very business associates that want you to hand over all of your property and your “wallet” for nothing ,ie” “$usd” or else?… at some point it is a matter of pride when hundreds of thousands of your own are involved. leaving it there!.
and oh by the way… i am american and can honestly say the last 4 president(s) and their administration(s) “should have” and “should be” swinging from the ends of ropes for all of the crimes against humanity and treason they keep committing!
the eu is not trying to destroy russia, americans are. the eu is a us puppet.
the eu is out of money and no one wants to do business with a currency that has no value or backing x 100 with the american bitch wearing a tiara and carrying a torch!… asking again why putin chooses to stay in the un/unsc clubhouse given those prevailing condition(s)… does he and the peanut gallery in the russian government stand to get all of the au in fort knox?….
or was putine promised something else by the tribe that if he continues to be a good little boy he will easily clear another 500 billion roubles for all those worthle$$ counterfeit $usd!!!
yes, the russians should withdraw entirely from any structures involving the us, which means the rest of the world.
vladolfs is kim jongs boyfriend. are you jealous?
is that scuttlebut you picked up from the boys in the bathhouse?
it belongs to ukraine, cased closed.
ukraine is a fascist state, withe fascist bandera as its george washington, whose motto was ‘i can tell all lies except one, that my followers were all nazi spies.”.
this article doesn’t articulate what ‘crimes’ were committed against the local civilians. the trial hearings will reveal all. he may not be the war criminal that his ukranian “colleague” accused him of. ukie saving his own ass ? yes.
the murder tourist did not get the death penalty ? imagine if this was israel dealing with someone they labeled as a terrorist ?
“the murder tourist did not get the death penalty?” nether did the israeli navy and air force after the uss liberty attack, beirut barracks, or the 5 dancing i$raelis at ground zero….
uss liberty incident could not have occurred without the full cooperation of high echelon us military and political players. likewise beirut bombing and 9/11. liberty was going to be blamed on egyptians, and was a function of the role of oil in the us empire. like 9/11 and ukrainian catastrophe.
does this reasoning apply to pearl harbor too?
no, i think that the world’s strongest naval power with intelligence assets and installations spanning the pacific had no idea that a rival with whom they were engaged in an imperialist contest would attack their military assets.
don’t disagree at all with what you just said, which is why i said what i said about the last 4 presidents (make it 6) above in the nm.
truman, eisenhower, kennedy, johnson and nixon were real straight shooters, weren’t they? reagan in particular, titan of a man. pillar of righteousness.
so where oh where are the rational voices to peace that have been absent since the mahatma that knew well what the british anglo-zioni$t establishment did to them for 150 years under colonial reign… ditto the chinese that took it up the ” ” just as hard… that now worship them and their fiat paper “g0d$”!… clyde. you must be so proud?!!!
truly a bizarre comment. good work.
if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime….
will vladolf come to haag court now then, is that what you say, or is he a chicken?
notice the nazi tattoos on this filth?
is he having the zombie nazi tattoo?
ah, those are all ancient buddhist symbols for health and prosperity.
el ciudadano britanico se saco la loteria……..
lucky for this imbicile there’s no death penalty in russia. he should do forced labor in siberia for all 19 years with a live-feed being broadcasted 24/7 so that any idiot thinking about becoming a soldier of fortune against russia see what awaits them if caught.
opposite, this is really encouraging to continue and free russia of all remaining territories now to liberate the normal russian people.
bring back khodorkovsky and larry summers!
andersson entered ukrainian territory, all of russia now belongs to kiev, of course. so just throw the krimlin imbeciles in prison for mental patients, nobody cares.
