Ukraine bans officials from using Telegram on state-issued devices

Ukraine has banned government and military officials from using the Telegram messaging app on state-issued devices because of concerns about Russian surveillance.

The National Security and Defence Council announced the restrictions on Friday after Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence agency, presented the council with evidence of Russian special services’ ability to snoop on the platform, it said in a statement.
