The Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) says the Telegram messaging platform has blocked a number of official bots, including the chatbot used by Ukrainian intelligence. "Today, the management of the Telegram platform unreasonably blocked a number of official bots that opposed Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, including the 'Main Intelligence Bot,'" HUR announced on Telegram early on April 29, adding that the move contradicted "rules and public statements" made by Telegram's management. "Despite the blocking of our bot, your personal data is safe," HUR said. There was no immediate reaction from Telegram. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service, click here.
