A Ukrainian citizen. The Ministry of Internal Affairs claimed that the Ukrainian was affiliated with the "extremist group" "Belarus Beyond the Moscow Ring Road," but according to human rights activists, Alexander had no connection to the project as its founder or leader—he simply left comments there.
He 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.

According to pro-government Telegram channels, Valentin was detained on June 9, 2023, for "eight comments on the topic of Russian aggression with insults to Russian citizens," by which he allegedly "attempted to incite ethnic hatred." It is also reported that insults were left against Lukashenko.
Before his arrest, Valentin Shtermer was the director of Avangardbiznesresurs LLC and was the founder of commercial firms in Russia.
The court found Stormer guilty of joining an extremist group for the purpose of committing an extremist crime.
On 01.12.2023, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.
He came to the colony after a stroke. "Valentin spoke very slowly, and walked with difficulty - when we walked from work, he always lagged behind, because he could not keep up. Plus, in the winter, he slipped and fell. He had either a broken arm or a dislocation," said a political prisoner from his unit.
Valentin died in early 2025.
The exact date of death is unknown. There is also no certainty whether Shtermer died in the colony or was taken to a hospital - a prison or civilian one. In the realities of Lukashenko's dictatorship, all such information is hidden.
