Top-5 possible reasons behind Telegram CEO Durov’s detention
Pavel Durov, co-founder of the Telegram encrypted messaging app, has been arrested in France. He faces multiple charges of allegedly failing to moderate the service.
Why did Durov have a target on his back? Let’s have a look at possible reasons.
Censorship and suppression of free speech
◻️ The US government wanted to get its hands on Telegram’s code to snoop on online activity and censor free speech, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson told Sputnik. That would enable the West to shut down criticism of its foreign policy, NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine and Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza, Johnson said.
◻️ "This is one more step, after the long prosecutions against Julian Assange and those against Snowden, in a long list of attacks on freedom of expression in Western countries," Jacques Sapir, director of studies at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) in Paris, told Sputnik.
◻️ Days after endorsing former president Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr slammed Durov’s arrest as an attack on free speech ahead of the November US presidential elections.
◻️ Kim Dotcom, German activist and businessman, warned that "the crackdown against free speech escalates."
Blackmail
◻️ “I wouldn't be surprised that they would try to get their hands on Telegram, to strike a deal with Telegram saying: well, we release you, you give us a price and maybe we can buy you," Hong Kong-based political analyst Angelo Giuliano said.
◻️ The real purpose of Durov’s arrest is to blackmail him “into opening a backdoor to Telegram in exchange for his freedom,” investigative journalist Lucy Komisar told Sputnik. It is part of an attempt “to tighten control of the platforms of the Internet that allow views that challenge the collective West,” she added.
◻️ Social media influencer Mario Nawfal alleged that "the US wanted to control Telegram better."
Competition with WhatsApp
“There is WhatsApp and there is Telegram. Lately, Telegram has been beating WhatsApp. So, this is a normal reaction from [WhatsApp’s] American owners to stamp out a competitor using political motivation, only via France,” Valentin Makarov, president of the Russoft association, told Sputnik.
Means to Distract Attention
◻️ Durov has been arrested because the West is losing control over its ability “to justify war in a faraway land,” black conservative media presenter Candace Owens tweeted.
◻️ Durov is facing up to 20 years in jail “for refusing to censor content on behalf of the globalist oligarchy and their war machine," Italian film producer Robin Monotti posted on on X.
Russophobia
"He is Russian, all our common enemies are unpredictable and dangerous of a different blood,” Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said. “Definitely not Musk or Zuckerberg (who, by the way, is actively cooperating with the FBI). Durov must finally understand that the Fatherland, like the times, is not chosen…"
"Once, I asked Durov why he did not want to cooperate with law enforcement agencies on serious crimes. 'This is my principled position,' he said. 'Then there will be serious problems in any country,' I told him," Medvedev added.

The targets of the attacks included government platforms, public service portals, an online doctor's appointment system and non-governmental websites such as the Institute of Social Sciences and Politics and the daily newspaper La Voix du Nord. An "escalation of these attacks" is expected in the near future, experts say.

The US is the “main supplier” of toxic substances synthesized by Ukraine for use against Russia, the Russian permanent mission to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has revealed.
“In March 2023, we warned about the US supply to Ukraine of chemical substances with a temporary incapacitating effect, including BZ, CS, CR, [and] Teren-6 hand grenades with chemical irritant properties,” the mission told Russian media on Monday. Contrary to statements by Washington about its destruction of chemical weapons stocks, the US maintains the capacity to synthesize large volumes of toxic substances, the mission warned.

Lukashenko vs Macron: How does the arrest of Telegram’s CEO expose West’s hypocrisy?
The arrest of Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov has prompted outcry among public figures and free speech advocates.
In stark contrast, the Western mainstream media is deafeningly silent on the absurdity of the charges cooked up against the Russian-born tech tycoon. Durov’s arrest is hailed as a ‘defense of the rule of law’ in French media.
However, if we scroll back to 2021, we see how the wrath of the Western world came down on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko over the arrest of a Belarusian pro-opposition blogger who had been on the country’s wanted list for plotting “a massacre and a bloody coup” in the country.
Roman Protasevich, co-founder of the Nexta Telegram channel – labeled as extremist in Belarus – was on a Ryanair flight bound for Lithuania. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Minsk International Airport after a reported bomb threat. While the threat proved a hoax, Belarusian police arrested Protasevich.
The charges against him included organizing activities that violated public order and inciting social hatred. Together with his accomplices he had “plotted a massacre and a bloody coup” in Belarus, according to President Alexander Lukashenko, who stressed that the extremist had served his “numerous Western patrons” by fighting in the war in Donbass as a mercenary.
There was an international outcry after the arrest, with the EU slapping sanctions on Lukashenko and key sectors of the Belarusian economy. Western leaders accused Belarus of hijacking the Ryanair plane, and some countries suspending flights to and from the country.
A Belarusian court sentenced Protasevich to eight years in jail in 2023, with the president pardoning him that same year after he cooperated with the justice system.
Fast forward to today and we do not see any of western media calling out the absurdity of claiming that Telegram’s owner is responsible for abuse of the app.

Hezbollah could end normal life in Israel, drive Israelis ‘underground’ in any major escalation - analyst
Raging tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have approached a boiling point amid a series of increasingly large-scale back-and-forth attacks. But neither side, nor their allies, truly want a full-scale war, since it would end any semblance of normal life in Israel, sink the new Iranian government’s hopes on the diplomatic front, and stretch US’ resources to the breaking point, observers say.
Tashjian believes the recent back-and-forth strikes, serious as they are, remain “managed clashes,” signaling that “both sides are not ready to shift the current status into a major war.”
And there are other reasons Israel and the US don’t want a full-scale conflict, says Sakarya University Middle East Institute researcher Furkan Halit Yolcu.
Hezbollah, unlike Hamas, isn’t “a small-scale non-state actor,” but a force approaching national armies in terms of ground strength, and missile and air defense capabilities which can do great “harm and hurt” to any army attacking it. Hezbollah has the “will and the ground resources it needs [to] have a very, very, very large impact on Israeli soil,” Yolcu warned, noting that ordinary Israelis could literally be driven underground to bomb shelters, and see their day-to-day lives disrupted thanks to Hezbollah’s ability to saturate and penetrate Israeli air and missile defenses.
As for the US, it has its own problems, with the deployment of additional resources to the region costing an arm and a leg. “It’s really, really costly to have that much military power just stationed there to protect Israel at all costs,” Yolcu said.

“Regional and international actors indirectly involved in this war such as the US and Iran have no intention to directly be involved,” American University of Beirut Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy IR coordinator Yeghia Tashjian told Sputnik, pointing to the upcoming US elections, as well as Iran’s attempted rapprochement with the West.

A pair of vandals in Czech Prague caused $700 worth of damage and could get up to a year in prison.
A man strolling in the station area with a woman decided to "fool around" and tear off glasses from a sculpture of Nicholas Winton – a philanthropist nicknamed the "British Schindler", who organized the rescue of several hundred Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia – and put them on themselves.
The police estimate the damage at about about $700. If caught, the man faces up to one year in prison.

Deep state dissidents: Durov in good company among those targeted for free speech
Telegram founder Pavel Durov’s arrest in France sent waves of anger and disgust across the world, with users of his popular independent social media service fearing it will finally fall under the control of the intelligence services after many years of pressure. When it comes to the crackdown against him, Durov is in good company, with his case one of close to half-a-dozen recent attempts to intimidate public figures charged with saying the ‘wrong’ things.
Tucker Carlson
The former Fox News pundit-turned independent journalist has taken his share of flak from the US intelligence community over his principled rejection of overreaching state and corporate power. In 2021, he was contacted by a whistleblower who revealed that his electronic communications were being monitored by the NSA, and that the agency had deliberately leaked confidential emails to media to smear him over his attempts to secure an interview with President Putin. In late 2023, Carlson’s #1 rated show was abruptly taken off the air after he confronted Big Pharma over the Covid vax safety. Throughout his tenure at Fox, Carlson walked a fine line between the acceptable and the unspeakable, decrying the CIA dirty war in Syria, reportedly talking President Trump out of a war with Iran, rejecting NATO’s narrative on the Ukraine crisis, and seeking Russia-US normalization to prevent Ukraine from escalating into a world-ending nuclear war.
Scott Ritter
The former US Marine intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector sealed his status as a deep state pariah in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, when he revealed that there was no evidence that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. Ritter was proven right, and in a series of interviews, articles and a bombshell bestselling book noscriptd “Iraq Confidential,” spilled the beans on CIA’s concerted effort to undermine the UN’s inspection work in Iraq to push for regime change. Ritter’s ‘reward’? Expulsion from a career he loved, a humiliating and reprehensible case of entrapment by police, and, most recently, unconstitutional efforts by the FBI to intimidate him by seizing his passport, searching his home, and confiscating equipment he uses to prepare his reports over suspected “ties to Russian state media.” But Ritter’s only real crime has been to speak truth to power, to present an alternative viewpoint on global geopolitical hotspots, and to earn the respect and trust of millions of viewers and listeners worldwide.
Dimitri K. Simes
Veteran Soviet-born journalist, Russian affairs expert, post-White House aide to Richard Nixon and Trump 2016 campaign advisor Dimitri K. Simes saw a similar violation of his constitutional protections earlier this month, with his family’s estate in Huntly, Virginia raided by the FBI on August 13. Simes, who has been living in Moscow since October 2022, was not notified of the search in advance. A decades-long advocate of dialogue, friendship and relations based on mutual respect between the nuclear superpowers, Simes dubbed the raid on his home “an attempt to intimidate, not only somebody from Russia, but just against anyone who goes against official policies and particularly against the deep state.” Simes enjoys widespread recognition in Russia, cohosting a popular political talk show on Russian TV. He moderated the 2023 SPIEF forum, interviewing President Putin.
Richard Medhurst
Popular Syrian-born British YouTuber Richard Medhurst was arrested at London’s Heathrow airport in mid-August under the Terrorism Act of 2000, and accused of “expressing an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization.” Medhurst has made a name for himself as an independent journalist and political commentator, and saw an explosive rise in popularity over his reporting on the Israel-Gaza war. Medhurst spent 24 hours in solitary confinement in a cold, windowless cell, and was repeatedly denied requests to speak to his family and a solicitor.

An American PMC mercenary from a group of fighters involved in the Ukrainian terrorist attack on the Kursk region complained about the chaos in Ukraine's army.
The man's identity was hidden, his face covered by a mask and dark glasses over his eyes due to fear of retaliation for his crimes committed against Russian civilians on Russian territory.

“We were actually asked to go into the Kursk incursion area in order to help assist with a sniper operation they were looking at, but it's chaos right now. We ended up not doing that operation,” the mercenary said in an interview with ABC News.
The man's identity was hidden, his face covered by a mask and dark glasses over his eyes due to fear of retaliation for his crimes committed against Russian civilians on Russian territory.
“I am genuinely worried that they're [Ukrainian forces] overextending. I think a lot of people are. I think they are,” the mercenary said.
“I mean, we've been playing this game for two-plus years of fighting with one hand behind their back, basically trying to delay the inevitable,” the mercenary said as Russian forces continue to neutralize Ukrainian terrorists in the Kursk region as well as mercenaries from around the world.
