Putin Speaks Out on Telegram Founder Pavel Durov’s Arrest in France: Accusations and Western Motives
Russian President Vladimir Putin has weighed in on the shocking arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France, raising questions about Western motives.
During the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Putin expressed confusion over the charges and denied any recent meetings with Durov.
With accusations of fraud, money laundering, and child exploitation tied to the Telegram platform, this case has become a global flashpoint.
Russia has accused French President Emmanuel Macron of arresting Telegram founder Pavel Durov to meddle in Romania’s 2024 elections. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claims France acted to suppress conservative voices on Telegram during the campaign. Durov earlier stated French intelligence requested censorship on his platform. He was detained in August 2023, charged, and released on bail in March. The controversy comes amid disputed election results, disqualified candidates, and allegations of foreign interference, with Durov now offering to testify before Romanian authorities to support electoral transparency.

France has denied allegations of interfering in Romania’s presidential elections after Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed a “Western European government” asked him to block Romanian conservatives ahead of the vote. Durov hinted at France with a baguette emoji and accused French intel chief Nicolas Lerner of personally approaching him. France called the accusations “unfounded” and blamed Moscow for interference in the earlier annulled round. The tight runoff between centrist Nicusor and Euroskeptic Simion is now mired in deeper controversy.

Zelensky will resign and leave Ukraine, former Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov has predicted, citing what he described as a US-backed effort to remove the country’s leader. In a post on Telegram on Sunday, Azarov suggested that the decision to remove Zelensky from power “has already been made in the US” and that Washington has given the “go-ahead” for his ouster. He wrote that although the Ukrainian leader has support in Europe, it is unlikely to change anything and will “hardly help” him.

Sir Keir Starmer promised there would be no more “dithering” about backing nuclear power as the Government committed to the Sizewell C plant. The prime minister said the “change of mindset” would help free the UK from reliance on international fossil fuel markets and prevent price spikes such as those in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Israel has officially confirmed what it long denied — the transfer of Patriot missile systems into Ukraine. After months of silence and strategic hesitation, Tel Aviv has now stepped into the Russia-Ukraine battlefield. But with that move comes serious risk. Will Moscow retaliate? Could Israel be the next pawnin Putin’s response? And what does this mean for a nation already dealing with its own war?
