Telegram has blocked a number of chatbots to counter occupiers

The Telegram messenger has blocked the GUR intelligence chatbot and a number of other official bots for countering the occupants. This was reported by the GUR on 28 April.

Today, the management of the Telegram platform has unreasonably blocked a number of official bots that counteract Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, including the blocked "Main intelligence bot", the GUR said.

The GUR said that this was done in violation of the rules and contrary to statements that Telegram's management had made publicly.

Despite the blocking of the intelligence bot, the GUR assured that all personal data is safe.

The GUR warned that the enemy creates bots with similar names and urged not to send any data to them.

The intelligence agency said it is already restoring the bot to work on other platforms. Communication channels are also still available:
