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创始人杜罗夫发出国际逮捕令，指控其未能阻止平台被用于恐怖活动。这是继法国逮捕杜罗夫后，又一个主权国家对Telegram施加法律压力，凸显该平台在俄乌冲突中的敏感角色。
📊 市场影响
消息对TON（Telegram关联代币）构成短期利空，当前市场情绪偏弱，可能引发抛压。但Telegram用户基础庞大（超10亿），平台运营本身未受直接冲击，TON价格波动更多反映地缘政治风险，而非基本面崩溃。
💡 操作建议
持有TON的交易者可考虑减仓或设置止损，防范情绪发酵导致急跌。若TON出现超跌反弹机会，可轻仓试探性做多，但需密切关注俄罗斯后续是否采取更严厉措施。
