Russia is more interested in censoring telegram than the west...mostly because the stuff the russians are posting on telegram directly contradicts the official line that putin has been feeding the serfs in russia.
Telegram stuff is "pro-russian" only in that it's russians constantly asking how it is that they're getting fucked so hard by ukraine, the ukrops, the holhols, whatever. Calling for airstrikes on social media before their unit is captured or annihilated - because they have no working comms or no one is answering when they do. Making video pleas that serve as last words and memorials to the great man in moscow to save them, as though it were just their line commander sending them to their deaths. Where they go to spin yarns about all african american units of supersoldiers with fantasy weapons being the reason all their friends are dead - rather than the people whose towns they invaded, whose daughters they've raped, whose children they've slaughtered. Russia is stuck in a moment of collective disbelief that putin could even be so incompetent, that the subhumans to the south might resist.
Telegram is where I go every morning for my war porn. If you want to know why the west might want the founder of telegram..it's because telegram has become the defacto means of communication for russian forces. It's not just sadsacks sent to fertilize the fields of ukraine....they send out orders on telegram too...because all of their official shit is trash, a good portion of it made by ukranians, who use that as the softener. Sending out a mass of fake and real reports, in russian, in advance of the assualt. Meanwhile, the russians don't speak ukranian. Yikes. We thought we had it bad back in the early oughts, and every grunt everywhere for all of time has had some version of a joke about being a mushroom....but what's lower than a mushroom? What's lower than a snakes belly..because whatever that is, that's where the russian soldiers on telegram are living right now.
In the beginning, one of the helpful idiot lines was "we just don't know enough about this conflict, there are too many propagandists, where are the "real" reporters?" In mere reality, the russo ukranian war is easily the most well documented conflict in human history, all of it public. That's part of the problem for both sides. Between sats, drones, and smartphones....there's no credible way to move troops surreptitiously. Effective surprise is achieved by superior logistics. The key to victory for either side lies less in the hands of brilliant generals or brave soldiers - and more in the hands of amazon distribution middle management.
As a kicker, ukraine sets up bot and troll accounts to run donation drives to help the boys. The russian ones...and russians pour their money into them, which ukraine uses to buy over the counter gear they then retrofit to drop submunitions from disassembled cluster bombs the us sent. That part sounds funny, but..officially, russia is the single largest contributor to ukrainian weapon stocks in general.
