📞 Путин и Макрон провели первый телефонный разговор с 2022-го года: главной темой стала ситуация на Ближнем Востоке — не обошли стороной и Украину. Робкое восстановление контактов — явный сигнал о том, что западные «ястребы» со своей неуемной эскалацией уперлись в тупик и начинают неловко искать альтернативы. Положение на фронте для ВСУ безвыходное — дальнейшая накачка оружием ничего изменит, а долгосрочной конфронтации с Россией Запад не выдержит: ресурсов не хватит.

Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever."
