According to several reports, Russia’s Federal Security Service has charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with facilitating terrorist activity and issued an international warrant for his arrest.
The agency alleged that the messenger app failed to remove content used by Ukrainian intelligence services as well as terrorist and extremist organizations to coordinate sabotage, mass killings, cyber fraud, and other attacks against Russia.
Telegram is among the most used applications on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war, with more than a billion users around the world.
Although the report stated that Moscow has repeatedly attempted to restrict the app and promote the state-backed MAX service, Russian government bodies, including the Kremlin and the defense ministry, continue to prefer Durov’s platform for official communication.
Previous reports from earlier this year claimed that Durov was already under investigation in a terrorism-related case. A summons addressed to Suspect P.V. Durov was reportedly delivered to an apartment he had lived in over 20 years ago.
He responded at the time that he was targeted for defending constitutional protections for free speech and private correspondence. His whereabouts remain unknown, according to Reuters.
Today’s charges come approximately two years after Durov was arrested in France as part of an investigation into whether Telegram had failed to adequately prevent criminal activity and cooperate with law-enforcement requests.
The allegations at the time included complicity in organized fraud, money laundering, narcotics sales, the distribution of child sexual abuse material, and making hacking and cryptography tools available without the required declarations. Durov, who now holds French and Emirati citizenships, denied any wrongdoing.

🦊 小靓解读
俄罗斯对Telegram创始人杜罗夫发出逮捕令，指控平台未配合反恐内容审核，这并非首次俄方打压Telegram，但升级为国际通缉令表明地缘政治博弈正直接冲击加密通信工具。
📊 市场影响
短期利空Toncoin（TON），因Telegram生态代币与创始人法律风险高度挂钩，若恐慌抛售加剧，TON可能面临10%-20%回调。但事件未直接冲击比特币或主流币，市场情绪整体可控。
💡 操作建议
持有TON的投资者建议设好止损，若跌破关键支撑位（如2.0 USDT）可考虑减仓避险。关注Telegram官方回应及俄罗斯后续行动，避免在不确定性中加仓。
