A pro-government film (April 2024) reported that six teenagers allegedly united into an "anarchist cell called 'Black Nightingales,'" which was created "under the leadership of the National Liberation Army of Ukraine" by 16-year-old Ukrainian citizen Maria Misiuk.
ONT staff claim the teenagers united to carry out acts of sabotage, following a tip, in Belarus and then in Russia. Maria is charged under Part 2 of Article 289 of the Criminal Code (act of terrorism). According to the film, 16-year-old Maria Misyuk moved with her family from Ukraine to Belarus in 2022, where she created an "anarchist cell to prepare terrorist attacks." According to the film, Misyuk communicated with her "supervisor" online. According to ONT staff, the "supervisor," "Marichka," sent Misyuk "instructions for making an explosive device, a Molotov cocktail, and literature with anarchist and destructive content."
She was pardoned on November 22, 2025, along with 31 other Ukrainian citizens. According to Lukashenko's press service, this occurred as part of "agreements reached" with US President Donald Trump and "at the request of the Ukrainian side in order to create conditions for resolving the armed conflict in the neighboring state." The released citizens were immediately handed over to the Ukrainian side.
