France BLASTS Durov, Claims Allegations To Be ‘Fake and Denies Interfering…’ In Romanian Election
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.
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.

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.

Western European leaders are reportedly considering buying U.S. weapons for Ukraine if Donald Trump halts American military aid. According to Bloomberg, EU and UK officials hope to keep Ukraine armed and also persuade Washington to maintain intelligence sharing with Kiev. Amid Trump's warnings of withdrawing support and EU stockpile shortages, European powers fear a collapse in Ukraine's defense. French President Macron and EU officials admit production limits, while Russia warns that Western support only prolongs the war and escalates tensions with NATO.
