"🇪🇺🇺🇸EU drängt Biden offenbar zu Last-Minute-Hilfen für Ukraine
Im Januar scheidet Joe Biden als US-Präsident aus und Donald Trump übernimmt. Da letzterer den Ukraine-Krieg schnell mittels Verhandlungen beenden will, rechnen viele Experten nicht mehr mit großen Hilfen für das Land.
Mehrere europäische Staats- und Regierungschefs appellieren deshalb jetzt an Biden, noch schnell neue Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, wie „Bloomberg“ berichtet. Den EU-Politikern gehe es wohl um Waffenlieferungen und die Erlaubnis für die Ukraine, Russland mit Langstreckenwaffen attackieren zu dürfen. Auch neue Sanktionen seien angeregt worden. "

The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries. 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. Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores.
