They said that the explosives were in electric stoves, which were sent to the detainees via parcels. The organizer of the action was named 23-year-old Belarusian Valery Vodin, who fought in Ukraine.
The video said that parcels with electric stoves containing explosives were delivered to the Minsk SDEK point in Kamennaya Gorka on March 21, 2023 from Kyiv via Italy. 29-year-old Victoria Volchek confirmed during interrogation that she received the package - Valery Vodin asked her to receive the package.

Elizaveta worked at the IT company SENLA. She probably left for Poland after the start of the war in Ukraine. Then she returned to Grodno and was detained.
The trial of the IT specialist will begin on July 23. The girl was charged under Article 342 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus for allegedly “participating in protests.”
In April 2024, security forces wrote about the detention of unnamed 2 men because they had removed the state flag from a kindergarten in Brest. Then the security forces clarified that one man was 25 years old, the second was 46 years old. And they threatened with criminal liability for “desecration” of state symbols.
At the same time, security forces posted a video of the incident. Those frames show that 2 men are walking from the gate along the path to the building. Then one man helped the other, and thus they removed the state flag from the façade along with the staff. Then they left the institution through the gate, waving the flag a little.
The media found a 46-year-old man from Brest named Konstantin Penchuk on social networks. And they found on social networks a Brest resident who was 25 years old in April (now 26 years old) with the name Stanislav Lugovoy. This gives reason to assume that men with such names are being tried specifically for removing the state flag from a kindergarten in April 2024.
