The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has declared the messaging app Telegram a threat to its soldiers fighting in Ukraine, citing repeated endangerment of lives at the front lines due to its use. The FSB's assessment highlights concerns over the dissemination of information related to the conflict, including casualty figures and combat details, which are often provided by Ukrainian or Russian authorities and cannot be independently verified. This declaration underscores the ongoing information warfare surrounding the conflict, where official statements and unverified reports from various news agencies contribute to the complex narrative of the war.
