Responding to the news, Russian journalist Alexander Sladkov said that Russia’s military conducts half of its communications via the messaging app, and said an alternative must be created “urgently.”
“Pavel Durov was arrested. This attack on the owner of [Telegram], on which half of the communications in the [war] are held, was expected. Now we urgently need to create a Russian military messenger,” he wrote.
Hilarious!
I’m sure their Strong Traditional Values will make one for them.
Nah this is BS. Russian military bloggers don’t need Telegram, they write on some website called New York Times.
