Ukraine bans government officials, military, and critical infrastructure workers from installing Telegram on state-issued devices due to national security concerns during the war with Russia. The ban stems from the app’s alleged use by Russia for cyberattacks and location tracking. Ukrainian users can still use Telegram on personal devices.
Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are:
– Ukraine has banned the installation of the Telegram messaging app on state-issued devices for government officials, military personnel, security and defense workers, and critical infrastructure employees to protect national security during the war with Russia.
– The ban was issued due to concerns about Russia using Telegram for cyberattacks, phishing, spreading malware, establishing user locations, and calibrating missile strikes.
– The ban does not apply to the official duties of individuals, and Ukrainians are still free to use the app on their personal devices.
– While widely used in Ukraine for communication and news consumption, concerns about the app’s security and potential access by Russian intelligence services have prompted the ban.
