Mickey and Popeye were also mobilized to fight. In the picture, Mickey is wearing a Japanese Army uniform and Popeye is wearing a Japanese Marine Corps uniform. In pre-war Japan, the popularity of Mickey Mouse, Popeye, and Betty Boop was so strong that not only pirated cartoons and goods were produced, but even as the military color became stronger, there were New Year's cards with Mickey on a Japanese tank, and goods with Mickey and Popeye dressed in Japanese military uniforms were proudly displayed.

It is unclear who runs the account, although Russia's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs Twitter account promoted the Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed it was operated by "a group of experts & journalists." But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford. On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours. Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai.
