Grigory returned to Belarus in March 2022, where he was detained. The reason for the return was the mother's illness (cancer was found), and then the cancer was found in the father.

Grigory has not been in Belarus for a year and a half: since the end of November 2020. As he told the court, the reason for his departure was the inability to find a job in his specialty, as well as the need to deal with the documents of his grandmother (a citizen of Ukraine, but there is a Belarusian residence permit).
