Details of the court hearing in the case of the attack on Pavel Latushka have become known. Here is what the politician himself said:

"The District Court for Warsaw-Śródmieście informed me that on 5 March 2026 a hearing will take place to consider the bill of indictment submitted by the District Prosecutor’s Office of Warsaw, seeking a verdict in the case of Yauhen Kazantsev.

This concerns the attack committed on 2 July 2025 during an official event marking the 35th anniversary of the Centre for East European Studies of the University of Warsaw.

Yauhen Kazantsev has been charged under Article 212 §1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Poland (defamation), as well as Article 217 §1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Poland (violation of physical integrity).

The attack took place against the background of threats to my life and health that had been received earlier in written correspondence, as well as immediately after disinformation statements publicly disseminated by the dictator Lukashenko on 1 July 2025 concerning me".
