"Желание убить боевого товарища оформилось далеко не сразу. Сперва были удивление, гнев и глухая ярость. Тревога за самообладание прокатилась по горлу — и он с ужасом понял, что прямо сейчас ничего нельзя сделать. Нужно держать себя в руках. Через полтора часа идти на штурм — и от их с Сарматом слаженности зависят жизни подчинённых."

What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. Telegram boasts 500 million users, who share information individually and in groups in relative security.
