A former soldier of Kalinovsky's regiment. His arrest was announced in a news broadcast on state television, Belarus 1, on May 5, 2025.
According to social media, he graduated from the Belarusian State Agricultural Academy (BSAA), where he studied in the land management department. His specialty is cadastral surveying and land law.
He served in the 38th Separate Motorized Defense Brigade of Belarus, a paratrooper unit in Brest, once commanded by Valery Sakhashchik. A photo on social media shows the brigade's pennant hanging in Grechikha's apartment.
According to the Kalinovsky Regiment's press service, Vasily joined them in May 2022, but left the unit in June of that year at his own request.
According to the video, he was detained somewhere in a swampy area outside the city by several KGB officers armed with machine guns. He was transported by helicopter. During the transfer, he had a black bag over his head, and his hands were clasped in front of him with a plastic zip tie. Kalinovets was flown by helicopter to the airfield.
According to the video, Vasily was born on July 28, 1981. In February 2022, he left for Poland to work, and three months later, he joined the Kalinovsky Regiment. He underwent training in Kyiv. The circumstances of his arrest are unknown.
A former fighter in Kalinovsky's regiment, whom Vietnam extradited to Belarus, Vasily was also a member of the Coordination Council.
It was reported that the man ended up in Asia after Lithuania deemed him a threat to national security and banned him from entering the European Union. "Kalinovets" was brought to Belarus on the evening of November 14 under a three-person escort. Vasily was flown to Belarus on Belavia flight B2978 from Moscow on the evening of November 14.
It is also known that the video of Veremeychik, published by propagandists, is, as expected, staged: it was filmed on a different plane and at a different time.
Former political prisoner Yuri Zenkovich said he spent four months in a KGB pretrial detention center before his release, sharing a cell with former Kalinovka prisoner Vasily Veremeychik. He noted that he greatly respects Vasily as an honest, open, and courageous person who hasn't broken down and remains courageous: "What he said in the 'interview' was coerced. To force him to say what the BBT officers wanted to hear, they used physical violence against him. Since there was little point in resisting, he said what he said under duress."
Vasily began experiencing health problems in the pretrial detention center. Veremeychik complained of symptoms suggesting heart problems: chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and swelling in his arms and legs. He received no medical care in the pretrial detention center. In 2025, Veremeychik was sentenced to 13 years in prison and sent to Shklov Colony No. 17 to serve his sentence. There, Vasily was finally examined—tests were taken and a cardiac ultrasound was performed. The man's family doesn't know the exact results, but after the examination, Veremeychik was placed on IV drips and prescribed four strong medications: aspicard, clopidogrel, atorvastatin, and metoprolol. It is suspected that Vasily suffered a heart attack.
According to Vasily's wife , he was supposed to be transferred to the hospital at Minsk Pretrial Detention Center No. 1 in early June 2026 for heart surgery. Instead, the political prisoner was thrown into a punishment cell, and then into a punishment cell.
Former husband of political prisoner Vitalia Bondarenko. He was detained after a short meeting with Vitalia, right at the exit from the colony, and was first placed in a temporary detention center in Gomel, after which he was transferred to pre-trial detention center-3.
