The Brest Regional Prosecutor's Office listed the actions for which the young man is being prosecuted under four articles: nine donations to a YouTube channel "used for informational support" of the Kalinovsky Regiment. Furthermore, in 2024, the young man wrote messages in Telegram chats containing "public insults" against Alexander Lukashenko, as well as messages allegedly falling under Article 361 of the Criminal Code (Calls for sanctions). Finally, in October 2024, the Brest resident apparently attempted to join the "Peramoga" plan ( "activated correspondence with a Telegram bot, filled out the proposed form, providing information about himself and his skills, thereby joining it," and completed a "test task" ).
