Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred."

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.
