The Kremlin commented on the threat of Telegram blocking

If the Telegram messenger is blocked, the Kremlin will go to another message exchange program. According to Interfax, this was stated by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov.

“If in the end the services of this messenger are inaccessible, then we will move on to another, let's see which will be more convenient. In this case, there is also competition, there is multiplicity, ”said Peskov.

He emphasized that the blocking of the messenger in Russia is not the question that the Kremlin would deal with.

The press service of the President of Russia communicates with reporters, including through Telegram.

On June 23, the head of Roskomnadzor, Alexander Zharov, warned the owner of Telegram Pavel Durov that the messenger in Russia will be blocked if the company does not transfer data to the department to include them in the Unified Register of the Organizers of Information.
