Russian families can call a Ukrainian Hot-Line to find missing soldiers: sons, brothers, husbands

Anyone in Russia calling a Ukrainian number is likely to find themselves off on a long weekend in the Urals!

But I'm fairly certain the Russian government doesn't track everyone's phone 24/7 like they do in China. And phone calls between Russia and Ukraine aren't that unusual since a lot of people have close relatives in both countries. They could crack down on it in the near future, though.

A pretty naïve view.

The Russians not only track all phone calls in Russia but most of those in Europe as well.

Do you think the FSB are a bunch of back bedroom hackers?

There's a lady in Ukraine whose parents live in Russia. They call each other every day. None of them are in a gulag.

Multiply that by hundreds of thousands.
 
I was speaking figuratively.

There are large numbers of Russians living in Ukraine and vice versa. However be in no doubt that's the FSB monitor all calls.

The Russians invented the Secret Service in the 16th and 17th century and they are still the masters add it.
 
If Russia's modern day Security System is anything like their Military it is seriously lacking, I doubt they are tracking everyone.

If the authorities get wind of that number, they'll likely block it, or go as far as blocking all Ukraine phone numbers. For now, the system is working and the main reason I found it interesting is that it shows how much the Russian and Ukrainian people care about each other, and how callous Putin's invasion is. The people on both sides are fodder in his envious, totally vain quest to become more powerful than the west.

The GRu are just clumsy thugs compared with the FSB.

That's why they are used for deliberately botched operations like the Salisbury poisoning or the attack on the opposition leader and now the peace negotiators.

Never underestimate your enemy, particularly if the enemy is Russia.

That's what Napoleon and Hitler did.
