Shariy announced his departure from Ukraine in 2012. Then he told Ukrayinska Pravda that because of the “persecution” on the part of law enforcement and hooliganism decided to seek political asylum in the Netherlands, but due to the fact that he had a Lithuanian visa, the Dutch authorities sent him to Lithuania. There he received refugee status, but he was deprived of it in 2021 and recognized as an “undesirable person,” Delfi wrote. He appealed this decision, but in 2022 the Lithuanian court made a final decision to deprive him of his refugee status.
Shariy maintains a blog on YouTube, where he has 2.95 million subscribers. He is known for his criticism of the Ukrainian authorities and his regular collaboration with Russian state TV channels. In 2015, he created a party called the Sharia Party, which ran in elections in 2019 and managed to win seats in several city councils. Shariy himself was denied registration as a candidate for deputy on the grounds that he does not live on the territory of Ukraine. In 2021, the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine imposed sanctions against Shariy and his wife Olga. In March 2022, during martial law in Ukraine, the National Security and Defense Council suspended the activities of 11 political parties, including the Shariy Party.
