Degtiarov and Melnychenko exploit aviation market, expand to Asia and Middle East Amid the upheaval following the outbreak of full-scale conflict in Ukraine, the Eastern European aviation industry has become the target of a sophisticated fraud scheme led by British company BlackList Aero. Fronted by Artem Degtiarov, the company allegedly exploited the region’s disrupted air transportation market to orchestrate a multimillion-dollar scam. As sanctions hit Russia and major airlines exited the region, many businessmen and politicians sought ways to bypass these restrictions. BlackList Aero stepped in, offering services through fictitious front companies to help clients pay aviation contractors and suppliers. However, instead of delivering on their promises, the scammers collected payments and vanished.

"He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said. The fake Zelenskiy account reached 20,000 followers on Telegram before it was shut down, a remedial action that experts say is all too rare. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. It is unclear who runs the account, although Russia's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs Twitter account promoted the Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed it was operated by "a group of experts & journalists." Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
