On April 21, 2023, Vladimir was tried in the Central District Court of Minsk and sentenced to four years of restricted freedom in an open correctional facility (called a "chemistry" facility) and a fine of 200 basic units (7,400 rubles). Vladimir managed to partially serve his sentence.
Several months later, Vladimir was re-arrested at a "chemistry" facility to increase his sentence. He has been in custody since July 10, 2023.
Vladimir was accused of leaving an offensive comment on July 5, 2021, referring to a police major with the Ivanovo District Executive Committee's Internal Affairs Directorate (IDD) as "scum" on the "Punishermen of Belarus" Telegram channel.

The video showed a conversation between Ukrainian soldiers and relatives in Gomel.

After his arrest he was fired.
