As for our response here in Ukraine, to these Russian strikes, to various information about threats. Today is already the 1003rd day of this war. All the security protocols are the same now as before. If you hear an air raid alert – you have to react, take care of yourself and go to the shelter. Whatever the Russian missile threat is, it cannot be ignored.
But when there is no air raid alert – state, productions, embassies – all must work in the same way. And take information, including from the intelligence services, as information, not as permission to take a day off. This applies to everyone – from the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and other structures and branches of government to regional and municipal authorities. When the siren sounds – we go to the shelter. And when there is no siren – we work and serve. In wartime, there is no other way.
We must be aware that “comrade” Putin will continue to intimidate us. He has built all his power on this. It is important to know how to respond correctly and do everything possible to bring this war back home to Russia, and to make them feel there what war is.

Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” 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. Lastly, the web previews of t.me links have been given a new look, adding chat backgrounds and design elements from the fully-features Telegram Web client. He floated the idea of restricting the use of Telegram in Ukraine and Russia, a suggestion that was met with fierce opposition from users. Shortly after, Durov backed off the idea. "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights.
