At the end of the post, the artist left a link to a video about this strike on the YouTube channel of the independent publication Salidarnasts, which is made by journalists from Belarus.
In May 2025, he was fined Br30 thousand under the protocol on discrediting the army because of a post in "VKontakte." Its content is unknown, but according to the court ruling, the actions of the Russian army in Ukraine were described there as invasive.
On 17 March 2026, Sirotiuk was sentenced; the details are unknown.
