Kremlin Demands Evidence in Telegram CEO Case Amid French Allegations

1. they can fuck off that what they can do

2. Interesting how krimling stepped In to protect the guy, after they seemingly stole his prev business (vkontakte), this also should play as a factor against durov. I use Telegram as well as many Ukrainians, but if proven of providing information to russia I won’t oppose the ban

3. Russians are in no position to ask for, let alone demand, such things.

   They’ve utterly forfeited the privileges of being heard and granted the benefit of the doubt with their medieval-grade behavior and open and repeated contempt for the rules-based concepts of the civilized world.

   It only emboldens them when we try to play by the rules with them.

4. If putin is against the arrest, then that shows france did the right thing.

5. “Kremlin demands…” – yeah you go fuck right off, mate!

6. I just want to remind you that Durov fled Russia due to police searches.

7. Since when does evidence count in Russia?

8. The irony!

9. They can see and hear all the evidence in court just like any other outsider who has nothing to do with French jurisdiction.

10. The moment Russians open their mouth, they effectively admit the guilt…

11. Kremlin can shove their demands in to their asses. Kremlin has no right to demand anything while literally being a total cancer of the modern world.

12. They want to know what trap they fell into

13. Their outrage and their attempt to shift the conversation to a “free speech” or “privacy” issue tells you everything you need to know about Durov’s relationship to the Kremlin.

    Edit: if I’m wrong, my ego will allow me to admit that I was wrong with no internal conflict. If ruzzia is wrong (spoiler alert: they will be) they will double down on their fraud.

14. > The Kremlin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, emphasized the need for credible evidence in addressing the allegations. “Such accusations must be based on serious evidence. Without it, these claims lack legitimacy,” said Peskov during a press briefing. The Russian government appears to be taking a firm stance in protecting one of its high-profile tech entrepreneurs.

    Since when is legitimacy such a big thing in Russia?

15. The more I hear from them about the topic the deaper become the hole I’d like France to put Durov’s ass in.

16. Russia never gives any reason for their behavior, why should we ?

17. Trade him for 100 prisoners. 

18. Why very interested in it suddenly? Surely if he’s sentenced or something, that’s not teh end of Telegram. There has to be something beyond Telegram.

19. These fuckers spend their time kidnapping foreign hostages visiting their country and yet they dare to ‘demand evidence’ to France for arresting a French citizen?? The audacity.

20. What standing does Kremlin have in this case?

21. Ruzzia can go f itself

22. Here is the evidence, Russia……..

    Go suck a dick Putin.

23. Kremlin should shut the fuck up.

24. I would say that “Kremlin demands” is proof enough.

25. Something I have always appreciated about Russia. Their passion for justice and fair trials.

26. You’ll get them, just the same as we get them for all the foreigners you’ve imprisoned in your country. Due process, right?

27. Now I do believe that telegram does not cooperate with ruzzian govt.

28. Kremlin can fuck the fuck off.

29. It’s cute that Russian thinks they can demand anything.

30. You will get evidence once it goes to court. That’s how a non-joke country works.

31. Why this shit is even posted? „Thetechbasic“ GTFO with that shit srsly

32. Kremlin can perhaps GTFO Ukraine before any demands.

33. France. Please respond on twitter to Russia like with a video of a mime trapped in a invisible box. The mime is confused and scared.
    -fin

34. The kremlin can go duck itself.

35. The fact that they even mention this shows precisely that it was the right thing to do. His creation is helping them execute a genocide, to make no mention of the other hideous crimes being facilitated by Telegram. 

    Companies are accountable for the impacts that their products and services have on society. In theory, anyways. Would be nice to apply that same level of rigour to industrial polluters, weapons manufacturers and companies that exploit vulnerable labourers.

36. Russia is a terrorist state, you can’t ask shit

37. Fuck the Kremlin

38. Where’s Russia again? Seems to be getting further away every time I look.

39. That shit hole 🖕Kiss My ASS!

40. Fuck the Kremlin, Ruzzia and Putler!

41. get right on it, just as soon as you prove the Referendums of Crimea, Donetsk ,Lugansk, Zaphorzizha and Kherson, were not fraudlent / fake

42. Isn’t it interesting that the Kremlin and the Russian military are furious over this. It’s almost like Telegram is an asset of theirs. Almost like the falling out between Telegram and the Russian government was all one big performance to gain trust.

    I sure hope the Ukrainian military from top to bottom is being careful. Especially since there have been numerous occasions where the Russian military has known about a secret Ukrainian operation and foiled it.

43. F**k the kremlin

44. Kremlin can fuck right off the bat

45. See, they don’t like it up ‘em, do they?

46. the evidence will be presented where it needs to be presented under French law and that is not the Kremlin

47. Considering that Telegram is basically neo-Nazi haven where all of European Neo-Nazi scum hangs out and shares insanely gross shit, it makes me very happy to see that the CEO is in for a shit show with the French authorities. Sure Ukraine and Russia uses it for war info, but that’s not really the big deal with it.

48. Good job russia,nice way to cement your opponent.

49. Idag about Russia. But as an eu citizen (albeit against my will) i also demand to see the evidence. I do not trust pedo lover Macron or the French Government in the slightest. I want evidence. *Real* evidence. Straight up. Otherwise this is only an attack on free speech.

50. Kremlin arrest People daily without proof
