It should come as no surprise that the US ceasefire announcement comes at the same time as the resumption of aid to Ukraine. The aim of forcing Russia to accept the ceasefire is to provide an excuse for Washington to continue the war. A ceasefire is not expected to be accepted by Moscow at a time when it is pushing Ukrainian forces out of its territory and when there is still no guarantee of further concessions. The war will continue unabated in the first half of the year.🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺

"The result is on this photo: fiery 'greetings' to the invaders," the Security Service of Ukraine wrote alongside a photo showing several military vehicles among plumes of black smoke. 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. Stocks dropped on Friday afternoon, as gains made earlier in the day on hopes for diplomatic progress between Russia and Ukraine turned to losses.

That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government.
