A 38-year-old illustrator. She quit her job at a large IT company. Her colleagues, shocked, tried to talk her out of it, so she decided to go home. She claimed she already had a certificate from the KGB showing she'd paid back the full amount of her 2020 donation. She was tired of being homeless. She was detained at the border.
According to the prosecution's case, as presented by the Prosecutor General's Office press service, between 2021 and 2022, Natalia Levaya transferred cash and cryptocurrency totaling at least four thousand four hundred rubles (equivalent to approximately 1,275 euros today) to bank accounts and virtual wallets "used by members of extremist groups, including armed groups such as the Kalinovsky Regiment." Furthermore, she was fined 1,000 basic units—almost the same amount she donated to initiatives and foundations. This is the penalty requested by the prosecution in court. The trial was held behind closed doors.

She was pardoned on February 19, 2026, in her 8th month of pregnancy.

Anton worked as a cameraman at ONT. Specifically, in November 2022, he participated in training for the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Security Department on interaction with state media. Kozelsky's last report aired in October 2023.

He was allegedly detained because of comments he left on Telegram. Anton had previously been active in commenting on various political groups, but subsequently deleted his posts, and they can now only be found indirectly—through other users' responses and his activity in the groups.

In May 2024, he was found guilty of "calls to actions aimed at causing harm to the national security of the Republic of Belarus" and "inciting hostility or discord" and sentenced to imprisonment in a penal colony.

He was released on March 20, 2026, as part of a pardon following another visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole.

Trial outcome 28.05.2024

Later, the ONT television channel aired 14 arrests in connection with this case, and propagandist Igor Tur stated that he had been attending lectures on the program alongside security officials for a year.

Pro-government channels also published a video featuring Alexander, in which he confirmed his participation in the initiative.

The "Personnel Reserve for a New Belarus" program, launched in November 2022, was aimed at training specialists to work in government agencies and implement reforms.

Galina Krasnyanskaya is 67 years old. She comes from Babruisk, probably from a military family - social networks indicate that she was born in the "military town of Kiselevichi". Once there was a large military garrison there and the school was created specifically for the children of the military. After school, she went to Minsk to study to be a chemist at the Belarusian Technological Institute (now BSTU). But after that, Galina worked in military units, if you believe her social networks. For example, from 1981 to 1986 in unit No. 48819, based in the pro-Soviet part of Germany - the GDR.
She probably moved to Sweden later. She must also have Swedish citizenship.
It is unknown when the woman returned to Belarus, but not earlier than spring 2023. The date of detention is also unknown. The article under which Galina is accused most often means a donation to Belarusian volunteers or to help Ukraine.

On June 21, 2025, Galina was released after a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, Keith Kellogg, and was immediately taken to Lithuania.
