According to the Investigative Committee for the Mogilev Region, Ruslan forwarded the video to the VKontakte public group DVIZH, which is designated as "extremist" by the Belarusian authorities. It's worth noting that the video itself is only 12 seconds long and shows virtually nothing happening—the train carrying military equipment is simply parked at the station.
Some time later, the man was detained by KGB officers. He was charged under Part 1 of Article 361-4 (assistance to extremist activity) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
According to information from former political prisoners, Ruslan was released in early 2026.

Lawyer-entrepreneur. Dmitry was accused of inciting other social hostility or discord.
The essence of the accusation and the circumstances of the case, except for the fact that Dmitry left comments on social networks, are still unknown to human rights activists.
On August 22, 2023, the appeal was considered and the verdict entered into force.
On January 30, 2024, a new trial of Dmitry took place. This time he was accused of libel. The verdict is unknown. On April 17, 2024, consideration of the appeal is due to take place.
According to pro-government Telegram channels, four individuals—called a "sleeper cell of extremists" —were detained . They had "external ties" to Belarusian volunteers fighting in Ukraine. Dmitry was among them.
They all hail from Gomel and, judging by their social media posts, had been friends for a long time, having played together in an international game of Beer Pong in Gomel. After their brutal arrest , the friends were forced to record a "confession video" and testify that they had created a chat room where they corresponded with each other and, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, had allegedly insulted Lukashenko several times in their messages and also made "inappropriate" comments. Another accusation was that the boys "had external connections" with Belarusian volunteers fighting for Ukraine. Apparently, this was the basis for the criminal case under the article "assistance to extremist activity."
On May 10, 2024, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.
He was released in December 2025, having served his full sentence.
