"You celebrate Christmas today, and at the same time in thousands of towns and villages people are celebrating the same holiday. This Christmas holiday, which should be a holiday of joy, but today, as never before, becomes a moment of remembrance of that great man who, more than a thousand years ago, with his holy and pure idea, entered his time, filled with filth and moral decay. We must remember that he who then, whip in hand, drove the merchants and moneylenders out of the temple, fell victim to the same dark power of gold, that viper-serpent offspring, which today again enslaves the German people and the peoples of the whole earth, poisoning them with moral decay and bringing, above all, our people closer to complete collapse. His work and his aspiration - peace for people on earth - have remained unfinished to this day, and from this remembrance we must recognize the necessity of the struggle to achieve true peace, for the sake of which every great man died as a martyr of his idea on the cross."

You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. "This time we received the coordinates of enemy vehicles marked 'V' in Kyiv region," it added. Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours. Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised.
