The 21 year old from Kazan Mikhail Balabanov has been sentenced in the southern district military court. The young man was found guilty of preparing an "act of terrorism" and was given a custodial sentence of 4 years and 6 months. He will have to spend two of those years in a prison and the rest in a strict regime prison colony. Meanwhile, the court reduced the seriousness of part of the charge against him, not finding a "group of people".
Balabanov was accused of conspiracy with an unspecified agent of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and of preparing an arson attack on a military recruitment office in Nevinnomyssk. Mikhail does not accept the charge against him, and his defence believes that it was FSB agents who corresponded with him. The security forces may have come after the young man after he called the Ukrainian project to help those wishing to surrender, "I want to live" — Mikhail wanted to avoid being sent to the front.

One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. 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. After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users. Meanwhile, a completely redesigned attachment menu appears when sending multiple photos or vides. Users can tap "X selected" (X being the number of items) at the top of the panel to preview how the album will look in the chat when it's sent, as well as rearrange or remove selected media. In this regard, Sebi collaborated with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to reduce the vulnerability of the securities market to manipulation through misuse of mass communication medium like bulk SMS.
