Ekaterina Mizurina, head of the Russian Alliance for a Secure Internet, believes that the arrest of Pavel Durov, one of the founders of Telegram, in France was at the request of the United States. She wrote on Telegram's personal channel: "I have long believed that the head of Telegram is dangerous outside Russia and could be arrested at any time, and similar situations have happened before at the request of the United States. I thought that no one touched him because he may have cooperated with Western intelligence services, but recent news shows that everything seems to be different." In addition, Mizurina believes that the arrest of Durov is to crack down on the super currency Toncoin circulating on Telegram. In this way, she said, the US will continue the sanctions policy.
