Russia says Ukraine is using Telegram dating bot for terrorism
Russia has issued an international arrest warrant for Telegram founder Pavel Durov, charging him with facilitating terrorist activities via his platform.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) claims Telegram failed to remove Telegram channels, chats, and bots “used by Ukrainian special services and by terrorist and extremist organisations to prepare and coordinate acts of sabotage and terrorism, mass killings, and cyber-fraud operations within the Russian Federation.”
It claims this led to “numerous human casualties” and billions in material damage.
Ukrainian forces were allegedly using a Telegram dating chatbot to recruit Russians into sabotage work while Russia has detained 46 users for criminal acts connected to the chatbot.
In response to the warrant, Telegram’s X account posted a photo of Durov with his middle finger pointed towards the camera.
