Galina Krasnyanskaya is 67 years old. She comes from Babruisk, probably from a military family - social networks indicate that she was born in the "military town of Kiselevichi". Once there was a large military garrison there and the school was created specifically for the children of the military. After school, she went to Minsk to study to be a chemist at the Belarusian Technological Institute (now BSTU). But after that, Galina worked in military units, if you believe her social networks. For example, from 1981 to 1986 in unit No. 48819, based in the pro-Soviet part of Germany - the GDR.
She probably moved to Sweden later. She must also have Swedish citizenship.
It is unknown when the woman returned to Belarus, but not earlier than spring 2023. The date of detention is also unknown. The article under which Galina is accused most often means a donation to Belarusian volunteers or to help Ukraine.

On June 21, 2025, Galina was released after a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, Keith Kellogg, and was immediately taken to Lithuania.

In the pro-government film "Gaspar Didn't Get in Touch" on the ONT television channel, aired on April 5, 2023, Andrei was accused of being an agent for Ukraine.

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. The released political prisoners were brought to Ukraine on June 28 - their photo from the Zhulyany airport appeared in the media.

Trial outcome 09.03.2023
7 years of imprisonment in colony under enhanced security conditions.
Appeal 20.06.2023
the sentence was upheld.
