Ukraine restricts Telegram use among officials due to national security risks.
Ukraine has restricted the use of the Telegram messaging app among government, military, and security officials due to national security risks, citing concerns that Russia could access personal data. The National Security and Defence Council emphasized the app's vulnerabilities, particularly its use by Russian forces for cyberattacks. While the ban affects state-issued devices, exceptions exist for officials who need Telegram for their duties. Civilians can still use the app on personal devices.
