“When the Russian full-scale invasion started, I was in Ukraine. At night after my work as a local producer with Al Jazeera English, I developed a habit of listening to the 'intercepts': intercepted phone calls of the Russian soldiers in Ukraine calling their families back home that were obtained and publicly released by the Ukraine’s security services. The discrepancy between the brutal reality that I was living during the day and the things I was hearing at night was shocking. In the intercepts, the Russians sounded human. That was the most painful thing to accept: Why do humans do such inhumane things?” (Oksana Karpovič)
Intercepted Intercepted
Ukrainian intelligence services have intercepted thousands of phone calls Russian soldiers made from the battlefield in Ukraine to their families and friends in Russia, painting a stark picture of the cruelty of war in a dizzying emotional tension. Juxtaposed with images of the destruction caused by the invasion, the voices of the Russian soldiers – ranging from being filled with heroic illusions to complete disappointment and loss of reason, from looting to committing more horrible war crimes, from propaganda to doubt and disillusionment – expose the whole scope of the dehumanizing power.
