Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing.

Ukrainian and international officials have accused Russia of targeting civilian populations with shelling and bombardments.
