A Ukrainian citizen. The Ministry of Internal Affairs claimed that the Ukrainian was affiliated with the "extremist group" "Belarus Beyond the Moscow Ring Road," but according to human rights activists, Alexander had no connection to the project as its founder or leader—he simply left comments there.
He was pardoned on November 22, 2025, along with 31 other Ukrainian citizens. According to Lukashenko's press service, this occurred as part of "agreements reached" with US President Donald Trump and "at the request of the Ukrainian side in order to create conditions for resolving the armed conflict in the neighboring state." The released citizens were immediately handed over to the Ukrainian side.
Alexander was convicted in the summer of 2024 under the articles "organizing and preparing actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in them" and "inciting racial, national, religious or other social hostility or discord" and sentenced to imprisonment.
On December 13, 2025, he was released following a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Ukraine.
