Kirill Ivanov, a Minsk resident, was sentenced to two years of "house arrest" for a comment about a border service employee. A criminal case was opened against him for a comment in the fall of 2021 in the Telegram channel "Lukashenko's Mustache" under a video about the head of the communications department of the State Border Committee. While serving his sentence, correspondence was found on the man's phone in which the Minsk resident expressed support for Ukraine. They began to put a lot of pressure on Kirill and threatened to send him to a penal colony. Due to the threat of danger, the man left Belarus.
