At the same time, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense said that he does not support the closure of Telegram in Ukraine.
The Telegram messenger poses a threat to Ukraine’s national security, and even if shutting it down is technically difficult, it is still possible. This was stated by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, in an interview with Radio Charter.
When asked if Telegram could be considered harmful, Budanov answered in the affirmative.
“I have never been afraid to say it frankly, Telegram is a threat to our national security, I say it directly, and we have even documented it,” said Budanov.
According to the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, the research confirmed that Telegram has become the main source of information for Ukrainian society. At the same time, Budanov indicated that he does not support the closure of Telegram in Ukraine.
“I’m not in favor of taking it and closing it, it’s hard to do, but I can “physically” all channels in Telegram , please register,” – he said.
Let’s remember that earlier the founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, said that the messenger aims to maintain neutrality and not become a “player in geopolitics.”
