Russia claims Telegram founder involved in terrorism
Russia has issued an international arrest warrant against Pavel Durov, the founder of the Telegram platform, on charges of conspiracy related to terrorist activities connected to the Ukraine conflict. Durov, who holds French and Emirati passports and is currently residing in France, faces accusations of colluding with Ukrainian special agencies to train young Russians in carrying out sabotage operations and targeting vital infrastructure, through the Telegram app. Russia accuses Telegram of neglecting to remove a chatbot used by Ukrainians to communicate with Russians and incite them to terrorist acts. In July 2025, 46 Russians aged between 12 and 22 were arrested as part of a Russian campaign, accused of executing attacks and sabotage against security forces and critical infrastructure. This move comes amid increased Russian pressure on support for Ukraine, while investigations continue to identify those responsible for these activities.
