It’s back up now.


Site is back up now


thank you


Cat is already out of the bag. Unless they have encryption equipment with them they’ll have no other option than to broadcast on open air waves. I just want to catalog what they’re already said on open airwaves to thousands of interested watching


By the way be warned. The communications are intense. I still need help transcribing and translating it, and I'm working on the frontend right now.

I'm pretty sure I have recordings of war crimes uploaded.


What war crimes do you think you have recorded? What is said or heard in them?


Artillery strikes called in on civilian targets.

Calling one thing bad does not mean you called another good. Please stop with this asinine meme.


All war crimes need to be prosecuted. I hope these will be prosecuted and set a precedent for going after western war crimes as well.

Sadly I highly doubt Russia will face war crimes tribunals as it would stir up what the US and China have done. They will probably veto any such attempt at the UN giving some bogus excuse. Only because you decided that the ICC do not apply to you doesn't mean it wasn't a war crime. [1]

Stop with this accusations of "whataboutism". This trend of accusing anyone who points out that the US/West is just a "bad" does not excuse the crime. It points to the hypocrisy of the claim of moral superiority when it is not the case. The correct response to "whataboutism" would be to acknowledge the crime (if true) as being just as bad and that all crimes should be prosecuted irregardless of who committed it. A war crime is a war crime.

> I'm pretty sure I have recordings of war crimes uploaded.

1. Make sure you timestamp and archive this as accurately as possible and ideally with uncompressed audio quality.

2. Please consider delivering a copy of this to Amnesty International and another copy of this to your local Ukrainian Embassy mission.

Ukraine has already started a formal case in the International Court of Justice in the Hague. This material can be vital in corroborating other evidence of war crimes in that court case. The probability of sitting Putin in Den Haag for war crimes is low but the evidence should be gathered nonetheless.


The Russians have been broadcasting their movements and operations over open radio. Anyone with a HAM radio can listen to it, even online. I'm recording the most significant conversations broadcast over specific frequencies.

I hope this is useful for journalists or other people cataloging the war.

I made the site last night and I plan to improve it a bunch more too. Thanks for any feedback.


I’m surprised they don’t encrypt their transmissions? Surely even Russia has radios with automatic functions, etc., widely distributed among their forces.


This is likely an ancillary group that has not been extensively trained and didn’t prepare for having encrypted communications. They’re defaulting back to open air transmissions, and everywhere they go they’re getting ambush and completely destroyed because, surprise, they’re broadcasting every move.


Are you sure these aren’t spoofed by EW units to lure Ukrainian units into traps?


Yes we’ve been tracking this and it doesn’t seem likely. It hasn’t looped, or repeated, and it’s chaotic as all hell with the signal constantly getting jammed.

Sometimes people play patriotic songs over the frequency to troll them. I’ve never seen anything like this before.


Just talked to someone from Belingcat (I think) and they said to keep doing it and they found it very important.


Please consider uploading these audio datasets to the Internet Archive when the conflict ends.


That’s where they are hosted now unless you mean a different archive site.


Nope, that’s the one. I didn’t click through to see you were linking directly to the item links at the IA. Thank you!


Where is the link to access the website?
