Telegram’s Pavel Durov made a ‘miscalculation’ fleeing Russia, says Kremlin

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated that Pavel Durov, Telegram founder, erred by leaving Russia. Durov was detained in France on charges linked to his app and its misuse. Medvedev had previously warned him about the consequences of not aiding law enforcement. The Russian embassy in France demanded consular access, noting France's lack of engagement. The incident highlights the complex relationship between Russia and its expatriates.
