One called and said, "Can you find my husband?" One was desperately looking for his brother. Some are searching to see if their relatives are still alive. An audio clip from a Ukrainian government-run hotline shows such a plea. This is the desire of any Russian parent, wife or sister. Families of Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine desperately call hotline to search for relatives
The audio recording was provided to CNN by government officials operating the Ukrainian hotline. CNN says the trembling voice suggests that Moscow is in a difficult position to control military communications over the Ukraine war. These recordings largely indicate that many soldiers were unaware of their plans and why they were sent there. This is indicated by the fact that Russian soldiers have lost contact with their families.
Russia launched an attack on Ukraine on February 24. Since then, several videos have surfaced online, where locals have given Russian soldiers the opportunity to call home. The name of the hotline launched by the Ministry of Interior of Ukraine is 'Come back from Ukraine Alive'. The hotline has been recognized by Ukraine as a means of showing and promoting humanity.
The hotline is run by a female psychologist named Christina. However, in this case, he is using a pseudonym for his own safety. He runs the hotline from an undisclosed location in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. "First of all , we will help the families of the Russian soldiers who came to the war without knowing it," he told CNN. We will also try to help stop the fighting. "
Christina says the phone has been ringing ever since the war began. The hotline has received 6,000 calls since February 24. Calls have been received from Vladivostok, Russia, to Rostov-on-Don. Some calls came from outside Russia. The calls also came from Europe and the United States.
CNN has contacted the three people who called the hotline. They said they searched for their relatives by calling the hotline.
A senior Ukrainian government official told CNN: "Dozens of Russian families have been connected to relatives who came to fight in Ukraine through this hotline. We asked them to come to Ukraine. But no one has decided yet.''
Officials working on the hotline said most of those who called the hotline said their husbands or children were going to take part in military exercises.
Christina said one father called and said, '' Our child is being used as a human shield. Politicians and big leaders are playing their own game. And our children are dying. Because, someone is going to make money from it or want to be the king of the world by fulfilling personal desires. ''
According to CNN, the hotline is not only communicating but also serving as a propaganda tool for Ukraine. It is also working to provoke the people against the Russian army.
"We don't know how long it will last," she said. We hope everything ends quickly. The more we can tell the truth about what is happening in Ukraine, the more people will take to the streets and protest to stop the bloodshed. "
