Journalist Kyrylo Poznyak was arrested on September 4, the day the YouTube channel "Platform 375" was designated an "extremist group." In 2021-2022, the channel hosted several debates between pro-government propagandists and their opponents forced to flee the country. Kyrylo Poznyak was one of the debate moderators. In his opening remarks, he stated that the debates were necessary to create "a platform for dialogue so that opponents can at least hear each other out," and to "raise the level and culture of debate and discussion," giving the disputants the opportunity to "broadcast not only to their own audience, but also to the audience of undecided people and the public of their opponents."

The channel and its TikTok accounts were added to the "List of Organizations, Formations, and Individual Entrepreneurs Involved in Extremist Activity" on September 11.

On September 16, 2026, he was released after a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Lithuania.

Trial outcome 26.06.2026
3 years 6 months of imprisonment in colony under general regime conditions, 550 basic values fine.
