Privileges: His position as Lukashenko's personal trainer secured Baskau a steady stream of posts and positions in sports, politics, and business. After leaving the Hockey Federation in 2021, he was selected for a position on the Council of the Republic.

Companies associated with Baskau secured major contracts with government agencies, while real estate development firms gained access to prime locations in Minsk.

Restrictions: He has been subject to U.S. sanctions since December 2, 2021. Poland included him on its national sanctions list in May 2023.

In 2021, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) suspended Baskau from hockey activities for five years for threatening and discriminating against athletes on political grounds, and for leveraging his position to support Lukashenko. Additionally, Baskau was accused of being possibly involved in the events that led to the death of Raman Bandarenka, a protest participant, in November 2020. Baskau denied this. The IIHF considered it likely that he was present at the scene but stated that there was insufficient evidence of his involvement in the incident that directly caused Bandarenka’s death. His suspension expired on September 9, 2026.
