#12I would probably advise against doing this. There have been rumors of Russian police looking through citizen's phones for indications that they are engaging with western viewpoints on the "special operation". And the penalty for such activities is quite high right now.
A random phone call from a U.S. citizen might look suspicious, and I don't imagine Russian police are giving much benefit of the doubt right now.

just make sure to tell them to delete the call from their call history.

This is an awfully dangerous game, but if Russians started getting phone calls from Americans en mass, could that actually provide cover for everyone?

If only someone was there, able to take pictures and report on it! You know, like all the news organizations across the world. Or refugees were streaming out of the area with horror stories. And satellite pictures and spy planes showed Russian troop movements. And the tyrant of Russia even said he was sending troops into another sovereign country, while contextualizing it under an obviously false narrative (that woul…

This suggestion amounts to letting Ukrainian citizens die to avoid a miniscule chance of getting a Russian citizen arrested.

I wonder what happens if the caller on the other side replies with the famous universal-fake-news-one-upper: "What, you really believe Ukraine exists ? Wake up, sheeple !!"
Well when the original comment is flagged (and not merely downvoted) on a topic that is just a call to activism (which, honestly, why is this here?), it's almost proof positive that in fact there are "sheeple" attempting to prevent anything that questions their narrative from entering the discourse. I image the wisdom of "I don't automatically trust my TV" will AGAIN only be judged as wise AFTER the fact. For now, it's unwelcome trolling of the typical hacker news user, who is barely distinguishable from the average reddit user.
