The pro-government film (April 2024) said that six teenagers allegedly united in the “anarchist cell “Black Nightingales”, which” under the leadership of the National Liberation Army of Ukraine “was created by 16-year-old Ukrainian citizen Maria Misyuk.

ONT employees claim that the teenagers united to carry out sabotage on a tip in Belarus, and then in Russia. Maria is accused under Part 2 of Art. 289 of the Criminal Code (act of terrorism). According to the story, 16-year-old Maria Misyuk moved with her family from Ukraine to Belarus in 2022, where she created an “anarchist cell for preparing terrorist attacks.” Among those detained are college students in Baranovichi, Nesvizh, Mir, Minsk and Luninets. These are Trofim Borisov, Sergei Zhigalev, Dmitry Zahoroshko, Anastasia Klimenko and Alexandra Pulinovich . According to ONT employees, young people gathered at the Baranovichi apartment to prepare for their first serious action - to collect explosives and blow up the Baranovichi police department or prosecutor's office. It is unknown under what charges the remaining five participants are accused. As well as their status and location are unknown.
