MOSCOW, February 11. /TASS/. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed regret that the Telegram messenger failed to comply with Russian legislation, which led to the decision to slow it down.
"I'm seeing and reading statements from Roskomnadzor about the decision to slow down Telegram's operations due to the fact that the company isn't complying with the requirements of Russian legislation. Well, it's a shame the company isn't complying [with the requirements], but there's a law that must be followed," he told TASS in an interview when commenting on the restrictions that have been imposed.
In his opinion, it would be better if Telegram and other restricted services complied with the requirements of Russian legislation.
