Sergei Timoshenko fought in Afghanistan from 1986 to 1988. He served in the 2nd Airborne Assault Outpost of the Kerki Airborne Assault Maneuverable Group, commanding the combat group.

Sergei, judging by his social media posts, supports Ukraine in its war against Russia. This appears to be the reason for the charges. He suddenly disappeared from all social media at the end of 2024, was arrested, and placed in pretrial detention.

Sentences

Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
