The KGB claims that Sokolov acted professionally, observed conspiracy methods, carried weapons with him, and also made several caches of ammunition and weapons for members of "extremist groups."
During the interrogation, the detainee said that he received an offer to take part "in the Belarusian resistance" and "the fight against the regime of Lukashenka" from a certain "Oleg from Kiev", where Sokolov went to meet, funding and orders also came from "foreign customers".
