Telegram is a threat to national security. This is what Ukrainian intelligence believes.
I say this absolutely directly, and we even documented it, said the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, in a conversation with Radio Charter.
He says he is not in favor of shutting down the messenger in Ukraine. In his opinion, large Telegram channels need to be de-anonymized if they want to, for example, write news.
If you want to broadcast any news, please register so that everyone understands that this is a channel of a Russian citizen or a Ukrainian citizen. And then he has responsibility, Budanov said.
At the same time, Budanov stated that the social network Twitter is not harmful to Ukraine in this war, because “it is not the source that our enemy uses en masse.”
