According to the investigation, from August 20, 2020, to February 20, 2022, Tatyana used Telegram channels to call on chat participants to commit violent acts against government officials and law enforcement agencies. She also collected, systematized, and disseminated information about the victims' private lives without their consent, including prosecutors and judges, allegedly harming their rights and legitimate interests. Some of the messages concerned Lukashenko.

According to Baipol, Tatyana was lured by Belarusian intelligence services: a young man convinced her to return to Belarus, promising to resolve all issues, after which she was detained by the KGB in August 2022.

In March 2023, Tatyana was convicted on a number of charges, including "inciting other social hatred and discord" and "insult," and sentenced to imprisonment and a large compensation payment to the "victims."

On December 13, 2025, she was released following a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Ukraine.
