According to the Investigative Committee for the Mogilev Region, Ruslan forwarded the video to the VKontakte public group DVIZH, which is designated as "extremist" by the Belarusian authorities. It's worth noting that the video itself is only 12 seconds long and shows virtually nothing happening—the train carrying military equipment is simply parked at the station.

Some time later, the man was detained by KGB officers. He was charged under Part 1 of Article 361-4 (assistance to extremist activity) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.

According to information from former political prisoners, Ruslan was released in early 2026.
