한어Русский языкEnglishFrançaisIndonesianSanskrit日本語DeutschPortuguêsΕλληνικάespañolItalianoSuomalainenLatina

the national security and defense council of ukraine recently issued a statement saying that in order to reduce russia's use of telegram for intelligence and hostile activities, it has decided to ban government departments and military personnel from using the official telegram software. this ban is intended to minimize the threat posed by russia. ukrainian president zelensky also stated that russia uses telegram to conduct cyber attacks, phishing, and spread malware, and said that the head of the ukrainian ministry of defense intelligence directorate submitted evidence that russian intelligence agencies have the ability to "obtain" the content of communications of social media telegram users (including information deleted by users).

russia has not responded to the ban, but the official statement of telegram clearly stated that the platform "has never provided any information data to any country, including russia". russian presidential press secretary peskov said on august 27, 2023 that the russian presidential office will not use any instant messaging software, including telegram, for official business. he believes that all instant messaging tools are not sufficient to ensure the security of information.

pavel durov, the founder of telegram, has also witnessed a dramatic change in the mode of information dissemination after the conflict broke out. he moved to the uae and relocated the capital to dubai in 2017 to establish the platform's headquarters. he has publicly spoken about his views on the war in ukraine and expressed his thoughts on security and freedom.

in recent years, telegram has played an important role in ukrainian society. telegram, the largest social platform for news consumption in ukraine, already has 72% of users. in july this year, ukrainian president zelensky even used the telegram platform to publish news, which attracted widespread attention from all over the world. the number of monthly active users of the ukrainian telegram platform has reached 950 million, proving that the platform plays an important role in both war and peace.

the emergence of telegram has also sparked discussions about free speech, accountability, and how platforms regulate content. durov's arrest has sparked discussions about free speech, accountability, and how platforms regulate content. as technology develops and society changes, people pay more and more attention to information security, which means that telegram's importance in future development will continue to play a role.
