According to a report by news website Leading Britain’s Conversation, the woman’s conversation to her husband, identified as 27-year-old Roman Bykovsky, was intercepted. The woman was heard saying: “So yeah, do it over there. Ukrainian women there. Rape them. Yeah. Don’t tell me anything, understand," it was reported.

To this, her husband replied, “So I should rape and not tell you anything," to which Olga Bykovskaya said, “Yes, so that I wouldn’t know anything." When the Russian solider said, “Can I really?", she responded: “Yeah, I allow you. Just use protection."
