During the review, the Office examined the published audio recordings, correspondence materials, browser history, programs and files, and also analyzed the work devices and accounts used by Alina Kharysavaya.

It is emphasized that Kharysavaya's communication, who has a volunteer agreement with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's Office, with unknown individuals who introduced themselves as employees of Ukrainian special services, "grossly violates the internal security protocols operating within the Office".

Nevertheless, during the conducted review

"no confirmations were found of the transfer of any sensitive, official, or non-public information capable of harming the Office's activities, the safety of its staff and partners, as well as Belarusians who sought assistance. Analysis of the available materials also did not confirm facts of transferring internal documents or other classified information.

The examination of work and personal devices, accounts, and available materials did not reveal signs of receiving remuneration for alleged cooperation with third parties, including the use of cryptocurrency wallets or receipt of other payments, as well as search queries related to receiving funds in any way, or traces of using programs for transferring money via cryptocurrencies."

Regarding the audio recordings and screenshots disseminated as part of the propaganda campaign, it is claimed that

"a significant portion of the published audio materials shows signs of generation using artificial intelligence technologies, which casts doubt on their authenticity."

Technical staff analyzed Alina Kharysavaya's work account and found no suspicious activity.

Despite Kharysavaya's claims that she had long been the target of persecution and attempts at influence by Lukashenka's special services, it is emphasized that

"the mentioned circumstances cannot be considered grounds for deviation from established security rules."

At present, Alina Kharysavaya's participation in any Office activities has been suspended, and the incident review is ongoing.

The Office promises that

"existing security protocols will be reviewed and additional training will be conducted for staff, as well as volunteers and individuals interacting with the Office within the framework of expert and consulting activities."
