Lilia disappeared from all social media after October 16, 2024, when she published her last post; her Telegram account was also deleted.
In 2012, she completed her residency in surgery, worked at the 10th City Clinical Hospital of Minsk and the Nordin Medical Center, and has over 17 years of medical experience.
In December 2024, Lilia was convicted of "organizing and preparing actions that grossly violate public order" and "calls for sanctions and other actions aimed at harming national security" and, despite her positive character references and value as a specialist, was sentenced to imprisonment.
On December 13, 2025, she was released following a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Ukraine.
