On 14 March 2022, Uladzimir went to Zhodzina to meet his wife Santa Franchuk after her administrative arrest. There he was invited for a talk and detained over photos from protests that had been found on his wife's phone. Uladzimir was held at Akrestsina and then transferred to pre-trial detention center No. 1.
In July 2022, Uladzimir and his wife were found guilty in a criminal case opened under the article "Organisation and preparation of actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in them" for taking part in the post-election protests held in Minsk in 2020, and were sentenced to restricted freedom without referral to an open-type correctional facility.
