On 8 December 2021, Vasili was detained in a case over his participation in the protests that took place in Minsk in the autumn of 2020. He was held in a pre-trial detention center until the trial.
In April 2022, Vasili was found guilty in a criminal case brought under the article "Organisation and preparation of actions grossly violating public order, or active participation in them" and sentenced to restricted freedom with referral to an open-type correctional facility. He was released from the courtroom until being sent to the facility.
Later, Vasili left Belarus.
In December 2024, a court hearing in absentia on toughening his punishment was held under special proceedings.
