Russian Foreign Minister: France's arrest of "Telegram" founder aims to obtain the platform's encryption code

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on August 27 local time that relations between Russia and France are currently at a low point. Russia is waiting for a reply from the French side to Russia's note on the arrest of Durov, the founder of the social media "Telegram". Lavrov said that France arrested Durov on the suggestion of a certain party in order to obtain the encrypted code of the "Telegram" platform. He also said that the claim that Ukraine used the "Shadow of the Storm" missile to strike Russia in depth is "playing with fire" and it is also an act of intimidation. (CCTV News)
