UKRAINE RESTRICTS TELEGRAM FOR OFFICIALS OVER SECURITY THREATS
Ukraine prohibited the use of Telegram for its government, military, and security officials on Friday, citing “threats” to national security from the app established by Russian-born Pavel Durov.
“The National Security and Defence Council decided to restrict the use of Telegram in government agencies, military formations and critical infrastructure facilities,” the council said in a statement on Facebook, saying it was a “matter of national security.”
