Father of Latvia’s Sovereign Power party leader supplied ‘dragon’s teeth’ anti-tank barriers to Russian border region and occupied Donbas, The Insider reports
The father of Julija Stepanenko, leader of the Latvian party Sovereign Power, owns a company that has supplied anti-tank obstacles, among other things, to Russia’s Belgorod region and the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s Donetsk region.
Latvian politician Julija Stepanenko's father is Sergey Fedotov, a Russian businessman with ties to the production and supply of anti-tank barriers to Russia's Belgorod region and the occupied Donbas area of Ukraine. Fedotov, along with his wife and daughter, owns two companies registered in Solnechnogorsk, Moscow region, which have been linked to the production and distribution of these anti-tank obstacles.
The Insider, a Russian investigative outlet, disclosed this information, quoting Fedotov as confirming the connection to his daughter. Stepanenko has not revealed her father's identity but has acknowledged his financial support for her family and disclosed his assets in her tax filings. The political party led by Stepanenko, Sovereign Power, competes in Latvia's upcoming parliamentary elections on October 3, targeting Russian-speaking voters, though analysts suggest it is unlikely to join the governing coalition.
