Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – February 14, 2021 – Local News
Zelensky’s team questions the transparency of Telegram and the channels that operate on its platform and does not rule out that Russian special services use them to manipulate the public consciousness of Ukrainian citizens and destabilize the situation in our country.
“Telegram channels are part of the system of manipulating public consciousness, ” Nikita Poturayev, chairman of the parliamentary committee on information and humanitarian policy and “servant of the people,” said in an interview with the Glavkom.
“Those messages that were broadcast from TV channels were then broadcast on telegram channels or vice versa. Together with Internet sites, it was such a complex machine for processing public consciousness, “the deputy said.
Poturayev sees nothing strange in the fact that the SBU has established the fact that Russia has financed a number of anonymous telegram channels. After all, the Telegram was actively used by the Kremlin to split the Russian opposition, to whiten specific Kremlin people, and after testing this technology on their citizens, they gladly transferred it here. So there is no doubt that the idea of these channels came from Russia, “he said.
But it is very difficult to change the situation quickly and do something with these channels. “The only thing that can be done is to cut off their funding,” Poturaev said.
