Russia's domestic intelligence agency, the FSB, has intensified pressure on the popular Telegram messenger, warning that Ukraine could be receiving information about Russian troop locations through the platform. The FSB claims to have reliable intelligence indicating that Ukrainian forces and special units can quickly receive and utilize content shared on Telegram for military purposes, thereby endangering Russian soldiers' lives. This assertion appears to be a strategic move to pave the way for a potential ban of Telegram, which is widely used in Russia by media, businesses, and for coordinating front-line operations in Ukraine, especially after Starlink's shutdown. The Kremlin is actively promoting its state-sponsored messenger, MAX, and has previously accused Telegram of facilitating the systematic acquisition of personal data.
