Dmitry lived in Ukraine for a long time, and in 2019 he married a Ukrainian woman there. He did not serve in the Belarusian army, but in Ukraine he joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a supply officer. From March to October 2021, he worked as a guard at a military warehouse in the demarcation zone between the DPR/LPR and the territory controlled by Ukraine.

In the fall of 2021, having lost his Belarusian passport, Dmitry went to the embassy in Kyiv, where he was issued a temporary document and advised to go to Belarus for a new passport. However, immediately after crossing the border, he was detained. For two days in a row, the KGB interrogated him on suspicion of "terrorism" and "weapons transportation."

No facts were found, but Dmitry was transferred from the temporary detention facility to a pretrial detention center and a case of "mercenarism" was opened (Article 133 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus). Later, the article was reclassified, and in March 2022, he was convicted of "participation in military actions on the territory of a foreign state without the authorization of Belarus." During his stay in the pretrial detention center, Dmitry's daughter was born.

According to human rights activists, he was released in the winter of 2024, having fully served his sentence.

According to the investigation , on the night of January 21-22, 2022, young people were resting and drinking. Once at the Brest store "Hit!" (on Moskovskaya street 342), we saw the state flag there. Khomichuk tried to pluck it, but it didn't work the first time. Then Murashkin lifted his comrade, and the flag was in his hands (at the same time, the pole was broken). The guys didn’t tear the flag itself, they didn’t do anything with it - they just brought it home to Khomichuk and set it upright. Then they went to friends.
