Telegram has restored previously blocked chatbots. These are the bots of the Main Directorate of Intelligence and the Security Service of Ukraine, as well as the «eVoroh» bot of the Ministry of Digital.

This was reported by the Center for Strategic Communications.

In addition, Ukrainians were warned that Russia could create pseudobots and doppelgangers through which it could spread disinformation or collect personal data.

«Official Ukrainian bots that helped in the fight against Russian aggression have resumed work. These are the bots of the Main Directorate of Intelligence and the Security Service, as well as the «eVoroh» bot of the Ministry of Digital. Remember: the enemy can create pseudo-bots and clone bots through which they can spread misinformation or collect your data. To prevent this, use the tool for checking chatbots: dovidka.info/botcheker,» the message reads.

We will remind you that on April 28, Telegram blocked a number of official bots, including the Ukrainian intelligence chatbot.

It was also reported that Ukraine may block Telegram if the information leak is confirmed. It is possible that the information from the messenger is released to the secret services of the Russian Federation.
