On January 21, 2026, Latvia’s State Security Service (VDD) requested prosecutors in the Latgale Regional Court to initiate a criminal case against Polina Kamļova from Rēzekne, accused of financing the Russian military with drones and equipment used against Ukraine. The VDD alleges Kamļova was a financial contact person for Russian forces, providing funds for drone equipment production deployed on the Ukrainian front. The case also concerns criminal proceedings against individuals in Rēzekne and Preiļi related to these activities. The financing of Russian aggression is considered a severe crime in Latvia, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, including for political and charitable organizations involved in such activities.
