During the trial, it became known that Ryabchenko left the comment: “The creature understands that he will have to answer for everything,” under a post about the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus Gennady Kazakevich in the “Cyberpartisans” chat, and also wrote comments with a “negative assessment” of the Ministry of Internal Affairs employees, judges, government officials, and members of the armed forces.
Ekaterina, a journalist for the Belsat TV channel, was reporting live from the courtyard of the Square of Change, where peaceful protesters gathered for a protest rally in Minsk on November 15, 2020, under the slogan "I'm coming out." These were the last words of Raman Bondarenko, who was killed by security forces, and those gathered came to honor his memory. Ekaterina was detained along with her colleague Darya Chultsova during the violent dispersal of the rally and was later convicted of "participating in group actions that grossly violate public order."
In April 2022, a new criminal case was opened against Ekaterina, and in July of the same year she was convicted again, accused of “treason” and sentenced to eight years in prison three months before the end of her first sentence.
On March 19, 2026, she was released following another visit to Minsk by the U.S. President Donald Trump's special representative, John Coyle, and was transported to Lithuania.
