Georgy Cherevako was detained in August while returning from the United States. He was convicted for a donation of $21.29, which he sent from his PayPal account in support of the Kalinowski Regiment. A Belarusian card was linked to the account, from which the funds were debited. The authorities considered these to be deliberate actions “for the purpose of financing activities for the recruitment, training, and other preparation” of persons for armed conflict in Ukraine.

At the trial, he said that he voluntarily told the officers who detained him that he was subscribed to numerous “extremist” telegram channels, and admitted that he had made a transfer to the account of Polk Kalinovsky.

He himself gave the employees passwords to enter the payment system. He said that he made a donation because he hoped that these funds would be used to purchase helmets, body armor, and medicines, but he understood that they would use them according to their own understanding and, among other things, buy weapons and ammunition with them.
