The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the European citizenship of the founder of the Telegram messenger Pavel Durov became for him not a safe conduct, but a sword of Damocles. This is reported by RT.
According to the diplomat, his ministry can use all its capabilities to protect the citizen of the Russian Federation. However, the French assume that the founder of Telegram is a citizen of their country.
As Zakharova noted, the Russian Federation is not giving up its territory. She assured that the Russian side “will do everything, despite the circumstances.”
The diplomat also noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the country’s citizens about the essence of liberal regimes and warned them not to locate their companies and assets in NATO countries.
August 24 at Paris Le Bourget Airport arrested Durova. The main complaint of the authorities against Telegram and the entrepreneur is encrypted messages in the messenger. The founder of Telegram faces up to 20 years in prison.
Zakharova reportedHe said Russia had sent a note to France requesting access to Durov. But according to the diplomat, Paris perceives an entrepreneur’s French citizenship as his actual citizenship.
Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy Anton Gorelkin statedThe US had a hand in Durov’s arrest.
Medvedev earlier in the name Macron will leave France until the “Durov army” comes for him.
