British Mercenary James Scott Rhys Anderson, 22, Sentenced To 19 Years In Russia

Click to see full-size image

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.

the syrian is pushing him to buy these materials at the expense of the syrian product, which led to a decline in demand and accumulation of syrian goods among merchants factories and workshops, especially since the imported materials are mostly entered irregularly, and are not subject to any customs duties, not to mention the gap in the exchange rate of the syrian pound against the us dollar, between the market alike and which depends on it by pricing the unknown source, with

the neck of the syrian interim government called for providing facilities for the work of industrial facilities, by providing some oil derivatives at appropriate prices, which contribute to reoccupying the factories in light of the lack of sources of electrical energy in the country, in addition to imposing real controls on imported materials of unknown source, and preventing their spread in syrian markets ,

anika added that the poor reality of the electricity contributed greatly to the closure of these factories, as the number of hours of electrical feeding allocated to industrial cities was reduced, coinciding with a significant increase in the price of diesel, which increased by up to 30% from the previous period, and therefore there is an increase in production costs cannot be borne by the owner of the industrial facility.

syrians can finally speak and write without fear of being tortured, thrown in prison, or killed for exposing bashar and his assad family in its reign of terror over the syrian people since 2000. bashar was raised in privilege and power, but it was his london-born wife, a jp morgan financial specialist, who took corruption to an unprecedented level. bashar might have lasted years longer as president, had it not been for the over-the-top corruption instigated by his wife alone.

but remember putin and trump’s trade deals, where ukrainians and syrians are just pieces on the chessboard. trump and putin only see people as things, and that’s why jesus, their god, will send them to hell. such contempt for people as trump and putin are capable of will, of course, sooner or later turn against them. of course, the third-rate mercenary (perhaps a scumbag) will be replaced at some point with some russian exploiter.

asma was never the victim, and history may recall it was the syrian first lady who brought down the assad family in total to its knees, and forced dozens of assad families to flee into the night to face a lifetime of exile. meanwhile, asma lies in a million-dollar mansion in moscow while dying of leukemia.

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.

syrian industries are threatened with extinction after the closure of hundreds of factories and factories

during the past three months, hundreds of syrian factories, factories and workshops were closed in several governorates, as a result of several factors that accompanied the departure of the government of former syrian president bashar al-assad.
