In a confessional video on a pro-government channel, Alexander says that he was detained for sending a video of military equipment to a chat. At that time, he was allegedly scared, so he posted the video out of emotion. “In this chat there was a narrative that hostilities were about to begin between Belarus and Ukraine,” says the engineer.

The video shows screenshots from the chat. The explanation for the video with military equipment says that it is moving along the M1 highway towards Brest. It is unknown when this was filmed.

Alexander works as an energy engineer.
