    In fact, Ukraine has decided to severely restrict Telegram use

    “in government agencies, military formations, and critical infrastructure facilities”

    Duh. Of course unencrypted government secrets do not belong on 3rd party services. Guess what: Russia doesn’t do that either.

    especially because of Russian intelligence having access to data

    “Telegram is actively used by the enemy for cyberattacks, spreading phishing and malware” … “Telecommunications companies are constantly subject to cyber attacks by russian hackers.”

    Telegram must not be used by certain sectors because it can be attacked. That’s different from the wrong claim that FSB controls Telegram. If that was the case all of Telegram would be forbidden for all of Ukraine and that’s not the case.

        Having hacked Telegram servers on occasion is not the same as being in charge of Telegram. These are just different things.
