I was wondering how long it would take the Russian government to get to Telegram's Russian owners...
Hopefully signal starts to pick up the slack.
- This move is sure to cause discord.
  
  I see what you did there. Had to zoom in a little.
  
  I am sure Ukraine has teams of developers who know whats up and will shortly deal with that.
I don't understand using telegram to begin with
- It has some features specifically for larger groups/communities that signal doesn't have. Hopefully signal can fill that gap.

Ok, but who did that?
that's rude and also useless. Ukraine can just use unofficial ways.
They should setup their own Matrix server and not rely on 3rd parties like that.
