Today, Ukraine has taken an important step to support our people through this winter. Our eSupport program has officially launched, providing 1,000 hryvnias to our people in Ukraine – to everyone: adults and children alike. On average, this means several thousand hryvnias per family, and the funds can be used to pay for goods and services, Ukrainian goods and services. This includes utility payments, Ukrainian medicines, train tickets, and even books. And, of course, the program can also become a national donation initiative – citizens can choose to direct this 1,000 hryvnias to support volunteers or our defense. I am grateful to everyone ensuring the technical implementation of the program – the government, the Ministry of Economy, and the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
In just the first half-day of the program, 1.1 million Ukrainians submitted applications for payments, including nearly 300,000 applications for children. That is, the scale of the program and the pace of implementation are good. It is essential that the government closely monitors all systems involved in the program to fully deliver on the promises made to the people. Additionally, the government must present details on other support programs for this winter and throughout the coming year.

Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. The regulator said it had received information that messages containing stock tips and other investment advice with respect to selected listed companies are being widely circulated through websites and social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram.
