Łazaraŭ was among the first Belarusians to volunteer to defend Ukraine after the start of the Russian full-scale invasion. He took part in the defense of Kyiv and in the liberation of the Kherson and Nikolaiv regions, as well as in operations in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. At the time of his death, he was serving with the 225th Detached Assault Battalion.
The KKR said it would support his widow, Veronika.

According to available data, around 70 Belarusian volunteers have been killed while fighting against Russia in Ukraine.
