Herasymyuk made this statement during a telethon broadcast.
“I believe that although Telegram is a very convenient form of communication, official individuals and state organizations should not be on Telegram, and this ban should be implemented immediately”, she said.
The head of the National Council stated that Ukraine is working with European partners to include the messenger in the list of digital platforms subject to regulation.
“Telegram is just one means of obtaining information. But the state is trying to establish contacts with digital platforms. I think it is necessary to gradually transition official communication to other messengers”, she added.
At the same time, Herasymyuk emphasized that regarding intelligence agencies on Telegram, it is “their business to deal with”.
Recall that the “Telegram” platform blocked several official bots, including the chatbot of Ukrainian intelligence. The chatbot “єВорог” (eEnemy) was among those blocked, which allowed reporting on the movement of occupiers. They resumed their work yesterday morning. It should be noted that Ukrainian intelligence warned that Russians are creating bots with similar names and urged not to send personal data to them. Also, cybersecurity expert Kostyantyn Korsun emphasized that Telegram is 99% a completely Russian product. The blocking of Ukrainian chatbots demonstrates the threat it may pose.
