Russian investigators said Wednesday that a British man captured fighting on Ukraine's side during its offensive in Russia's Kursk region has been sentenced to 19 years behind bars.

Russia's Investigative Committee said in a statement that James Scott Rhys Anderson was found guilty of a "terrorist act" and acting as a mercenary, after he was captured while fighting in the Kursk region in November.
