Andrey is a Ukrainian citizen originally from Chernihiv. He moved to Belarus after his marriage at his wife's request, as her parents lived there. Andrey is a former military serviceman. He worked as an electrician at the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, where he was arrested in January 2023 as part of a criminal case.
In the pro-government film "Gaspar Didn't Respond," aired on the ONT television channel on April 5, 2023, Andrei was accused of being an agent for Ukraine. The film alleges that he regularly transmitted information via the Signal messenger to his younger brother, Ruslan, who serves in the Chernihiv Operational Directorate "North" and is the deputy commander for operational matters.
In March 2024, Andrei was found guilty of “intelligence activity” and sentenced to imprisonment.
In January 2025, a court hearing was held on the issue of transferring him to a different type of correctional facility and changing the conditions of the regime.
On December 13, 2025, he was released following a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Ukraine.
