The prosecutor's office has submitted a criminal case to the Riga City Court against pro-Kremlin activist Polina Kamlyova from Rezekne, who is accused of transferring approximately 43 euros for the purchase of a device to suppress drones with the aim of handing it over to the Russian military, the LETA agency has learned.
The prosecutor's office reported that on January 28, a decision was made to bring one person to criminal responsibility for committing a crime under the Criminal Law regarding the financing of an armed conflict. The accused remains in custody.
This case was commented on in X (formerly Twitter) by the former minister and chairwoman of the board of the National Rehabilitation Center "Vaivari," Ilze Vinkele:
"How much, please, will this ultimately cost? Not for a second defending the act committed — but isn’t all this fuss over a donation of 42 euros somewhat disproportionately large?"
Many users reacted sharply condemning this post.
Ģirts:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Reflections and condemnation from the head of the National Rehabilitation Center 'Vaivari'! I would suggest she address such reflections to the patients of 'Vaivari' — Ukrainians, maimed by war! I would like to see how she would then explain where the line is drawn regarding the amount that is permissible to donate to the Russian army!"
Indra:
"In your opinion, what amount in euros constitutes treason against Latvia?"
Džeina:
"It doesn’t matter how much this will cost. Such demonstrative trials are absolutely necessary to clearly demonstrate the state’s position towards supporters of Putin."
