Kremlin will be able to monitor the locations of Ukrainians in Telegram
As Yaroslav Azhnyuk noted, an automated tool for determining the location of people in Telegram has appeared. Its accuracy is up to 50m.

In addition, Azhnyuk notes that Telegram uses simple numbers that it generates to encrypt its "secret" chats.
If it sends ‘bad’ prime numbers, then Telegram will be able to decipher these chats on its own, explains Yaroslav Azhnyuk
Why is it dangerous to use Telegram?
The Telegram messenger does not protect users' personal data and even saves deleted messages. Online.ua journalists tried to find out whether the personal information of Ukrainians can get to the FSB.
In addition, Telegram has been repeatedly accused of spreading hatred, pornography, and drug and contraband trafficking. Messenger is used with impunity by terrorist groups such as ISIS.
One example of a shameless leak of personal data by messenger to the FSB is the story of journalist Ihor Bondarenko.
The man tried to leave the occupied part of Kherson, but he was caught.
