Vladimir Zloba's mother confirmed to Sputnik that her son had been imprisoned in Crimea. Vladimir Zloba is a defendant in the explosion case involving the Crimean Bridge (Kerch Strait Bridge).

"He took his family to Russia, to Crimea. He supports Russia, he said that finally, stability would come. The family is at home, he is sitting waiting at the base, and then they took the guy away and are making such claims… How can it be that a collective farmer… what is he, a terrorist or something?" Zloba’s mother, Vera, who believes her son is innocent, said.

She added that her son, who had been engaged in the transportation and sale of grain grown by local farmers, has been detained in Crimea. The mother stated that he had relocated to Crimea on March 13 after the launch of Russia's special operation.

The son of Roman Solomko, another defendant in the Crimean Bridge explosion case, confirmed to Sputnik in October that his father had been jailed in Crimea. He went on to say that his father had been to Georgia to pay for a customs broker and declare cargo, and that all formal documentation had been properly filed.
