A pro-Russian Latvian activist who moved to Russia was "led" to sign a contract and was sent to war from a pre-trial detention center in Moscow The fact that the 59-year-old "Russian Union of Latvia" activist, Sergei Molibanov, was sent to a pre-trial detention center on charges of fraud, and from there on a contract for war in Ukraine, was reported by the man's lawyer and relatives. Molibanov left Latvia for Russia in 2024 and got a job as a courier: one of his orders was to transport money stolen by fraudsters, because of which a fraud case was opened against him, for which he was sent to a pre-trial detention center in April 2026. In conclusion, he "was able to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense and appeal to him." "Both documents are undated. The dates have only been set now, October 2026. The signature was made six months ago as if it was added a few days ago," said lawyer Molivanova. At the end of October he announced his refusal to go to war, but he was taken to Rostov against his will. There was no contact with Molybanov for about a week, his relatives point out.
