Vitaly Matvienko noted that 3,000 calls more than doubled the monthly figures of February.

In Ukraine, it is believed that this increase may be related to the Ukrainian counteroffensive, which, according to popular assumptions, will take place in the spring.

“The Ukrainian counteroffensive operation on the ground has not yet begun, but its results are already yielding results,” the message says.

The “I want to live” hotline became operational in September 2022.

Russian subscribers are promised to be detained according to the Geneva Convention.

It is believed that more than 10,000 people have called this number to date.
