Description and Notes
A Latvian citizen was sentenced to six years imprisonment and two years probation for illegally participating in hostilities as a contract soldier in the Russian army and unlawfully crossing Latvia's external border. The individual was detained in Šķilbēnu parish in autumn 2024 after serving in the Russian 80th Tank Regiment in Chelyabinsk and being deployed to combat operations in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Charges included active participation in an armed conflict against Latvia's territorial integrity and political independence and illegal border crossing. The accused constructed defensive fortifications, performed security duties with Russian-issued weapons, and engaged in tactical combat and shooting training. He admitted guilt, expressed remorse, and agreed to compensation of procedural costs. The case highlights ongoing security concerns involving Latvian nationals joining foreign military forces in the Ukraine conflict and attempting unauthorized border entries.
