Sergei Mulivanov, a 59-year-old Latvian who moved to Russia, has been sent to the front in Ukraine after being jailed in Russia, according to Ostorozhno and Novosti reports. The Latvian-Russian Union party member, who opposed restrictions on the Russian language and aid to Ukraine, left his home country two years ago due to dissatisfaction with government policies.
Despite being refused to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense, Mulivanov was taken from Moscow to the combat zone without his knowledge or consent. His relatives have not heard from him for six days and are unaware of his whereabouts. Mulivanov, who suffers from type 2 diabetes and polyneuropathy, refused to sign any documents without a lawyer present.
