He noted that he greatly respects Vasily as an honest, open, and courageous person who hasn't broken down and remains courageous: "What he said in the 'interview' was coerced. To force him to say what the BBT officers wanted to hear, they used physical violence against him. Since there was little point in resisting, he said what he said under duress."

Vasily began experiencing health problems in the pretrial detention center. Veremeychik complained of symptoms suggesting heart problems: chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and swelling in his arms and legs. He received no medical care in the pretrial detention center. In 2025, Veremeychik was sentenced to 13 years in prison and sent to Shklov Colony No. 17 to serve his sentence. There, Vasily was finally examined—tests were taken and a cardiac ultrasound was performed. The man's family doesn't know the exact results, but after the examination, Veremeychik was placed on IV drips and prescribed four strong medications: aspicard, clopidogrel, atorvastatin, and metoprolol.

According to Vasily's wife , he was supposed to be transferred to the hospital at Minsk Pretrial Detention Center No. 1 in early June 2026 for heart surgery. Instead, the political prisoner was thrown into a punishment cell, and then into a punishment cell.
