4. "What does it all mean for today’s roundtable’s primary topic – arms control?” Is arms control dead? Not at all. May I suggest that arms control goes in cycles? Now, one should be prepared – and patient – for a long, long cycle when it is put on hold. One should use this pause for at least two exercises: first, to keep the institutional memory of past negotiations, preparing the younger generation of arms control experts for their future mission. Secondly, to use platforms like today’s roundtable to think creatively about how new arms control should look.”

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. Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever." In a message on his Telegram channel recently recounting the episode, Durov wrote: "I lost my company and my home, but would do it again – without hesitation." At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion.
