The exact date of Alexander’s detention is unknown, but the page on Odnoklassniki, which he actively maintained, stopped updating in October 2021. Perhaps that's when he was detained. It is not known what else Skorokhod was doing, but from June 2018 to the beginning of 2020, he traveled to Ukraine 500 times and soon returned back, often two or three times a day. Obviously, he was transporting something across the border, but whether it was official work and what the essence was is unclear.
Alexander's trial ended on February 1, 2024. And on April 19, the appeal took place. Skorokhod was tried for “treason to the state” (Part 1 of Article 356 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus). The sanction of the article provides for a punishment of seven to fifteen years in prison. The verdict is unknown, as is the essence of the charge.
