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.

Citizen of Ukraine. The court found Pavel guilty of “undercover activity” in favor of Ukraine. Authorities accused him and two other men of sending data to Ukrainian military intelligence.

Propagandists claim that Kuprienko was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence services. Taras Machinsky is accused of transmitting data on the deployment and movement of military equipment in Belarus to Kuprienko, and he, in turn, to the Ukrainian special services. It is reported that Dmitry Solovyanchik was “used in secret.” In the video they say that Dmitry filmed the movement of military equipment in Belarus and asked his relatives about it, and then passed it on to Kuprienko, “not knowing what they were for.”

On the evening of June 28, 2024, sudden information appeared about the release of five political prisoners from Belarusian colonies. The Ukrainian authorities achieved the release of their exchange citizens as prisoners. This is how Natalya Zakharenko, Pavel Kuprienko, Lyudmila Goncharenko, Ekaterina Bryukhanova, as well as Nikolai Shvets, a defendant in the “Machulishchi case,” were released. The terms of the exchange were not disclosed. It is noted that the Vatican took part in the liberation.
