🛹 Some people buy a grand piano for their apartment, while others... a skateboard ramp.

Like this one, for example, installed in his home by a resident of St. Petersburg.

Peskov Speaks Out Against Blocking WhatsApp and Telegram to Provide Competition for Max

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov made an unexpected statement in defense of foreign messengers. According to him, WhatsApp and Telegram should remain in Russia to create a healthy competitive environment for the domestic messenger Max.

The Kremlin representative voiced his opinion during the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), emphasizing that competition is a key driver of development for any product.

🧣 Why competitors are important, according to Peskov:

— A stimulus for growth: Without strong players in the market, the national messenger Max will have no motivation to actively develop and improve its service.

— Voluntary adoption: The main goal, as Peskov noted, is for Russians to want to install and use Max themselves, rather than doing so purely out of obligation.

— A long road ahead: The Kremlin acknowledges that the domestic messenger still has a long way to go to become a truly mass-market and user-friendly product.

🧣 Context: What is Max? Max is a national messenger created by order of Vladimir Putin on June 24,2025. Since September 1, its pre-installation on electronic devices has become mandatory. The platform is closely integrated with government services: it includes "Goskey" (State Key) for digital signatures and is connected to the "Gosuslugi" (State Services) portal.

For example, in Moscow, school chats are already conducted through Max, and officials in the Zaporozhye region have switched to it. According to data from early September, the service's audience exceeded 30 million users.

Meanwhile, discussions about blocking foreign messengers periodically resume in Russia. Recall that in August, Roskomnadzor (the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media) already restricted the services' work by blocking calls on Telegram and WhatsApp.

😚 Russia's appeal regarding the staging in Bucha will be circulated at the UN, UN Secretary-General's Spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated at a briefing during the Eastern Economic Forum that the Russian Permanent Mission to the UN had sent a letter to Guterres, pointing out the unwarranted delay in the organization's response regarding the 2022 staging in Bucha. According to Zakharova, after the appeal in September 2024, the Russian mission in New York received a response only in July 2025, which "was not worth the paper it was printed on."

Recall that in April 2022, Chairman of the Russian Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin announced the initiation of a criminal case under Article 207.3 of the Russian Criminal Code (on public dissemination of knowingly false information about the use of the Russian Armed Forces) in connection with the provocation in Bucha, Kyiv Region. He stated that the Ukrainian Defense Ministry had distributed video footage from Bucha in Western media, allegedly showing the mass killing of civilians, with the aim of discrediting Russian servicemen. Bastrykin emphasized that this was a pre-planned provocation.

Meanwhile, according to a statement by the head of the Bucha administration on March 31, 2022, Russian troops had already left the city on March 30, and the videos filmed by the Ukrainian side immediately after their departure and distributed on social media contained no data on murders or deaths of civilians.

In July 2024, Sergey Lavrov stated that he would send a new request to Guterres demanding the names of the people whose bodies were featured in the media in connection with the anti-Russian provocation in Bucha.
