On May 15, 2023, ONT aired a propaganda film, "A Killer Parcel of Death: Who and How Wanted to Commit a Terrorist Attack on Victory Day," which told the details of the case. It was reported that the KGB allegedly "prevented a terrorist attack under the supervision of Kiev" on the eve of Victory Day on May 9, 2023. They said that the explosives were in electric stoves that were sent to the detainees via parcels. The organizer of the action was named as 23-year-old Belarusian Valery Vodin, who fought in Ukraine.
The video said that parcels with electric stoves containing explosives were delivered to the Minsk SDEK point in Kamennaya Gorka on March 21, 2023, from Kiev via Italy. 29-year-old Viktoria Volchek confirmed during interrogation that she had received the parcel — Valery Vodin had asked her to receive the parcel. BSU student Anna Savochkina and her mother Tatyana Rusak took the stove from Volchek and buried it in a cemetery in Kolodishchi. The second stove was taken by dental technician Andrei Grigoriev and taken to the gardening association "Avtoremontnik 124" near Olekhnovichi.

How to write a letter
✏️ A postcard with words of encouragement (a poem by your favorite author, song lyrics, or a beautiful quote). Trust us, even such simple gestures are very meaningful to a person in jail.
✏️ Your life events. To a person who is in isolation for a long time, any story about your routine endeavors will be a window into normal life. Your day-to-day worries and mundane matters are much more interesting than the daily grind of life behind bars.
✏️ It is important to share news. Mention the most notable and interesting occurrences depending on your pen-pal's interests.
✍️️ Remember that every letter is censored. This means that your letters are read by strangers whose main goal is to limit inmates' access to information or to use it against the prisoners or even you.
So try to avoid:
👉️️ harsh statements regarding ongoing political matters
👉 statements against the authorities and public servants
👉 foul language
👉 discussion of the circumstances of the criminal case
