"We are not opposed to any particular party. But we are opposed, within all parties, to that which stems from this egalitarian ideology, of which Western liberalism and European social democracy constitute today the privileged points of support. What we feel alien to is not a particular political formation, it's the world in which political formations struggle - this world of economy-as-destiny, this world of the forgetting of being, this world of calculative thinking that weighs all values at the fairest price, this world of the inessential and the dictatorship of the "they"."

Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai.

The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. The channel appears to be part of the broader information war that has developed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has paid Russian TikTok influencers to push propaganda, according to a Vice News investigation, while ProPublica found that fake Russian fact check videos had been viewed over a million times on Telegram. Multiple pro-Kremlin media figures circulated the post's false claims, including prominent Russian journalist Vladimir Soloviev and the state-controlled Russian outlet RT, according to the DFR Lab's report.
