Lavrov also pointed out that if Durov was detained specifically for the purpose of obtaining encryption codes, this speaks to the high quality of Telegram.
In this way, the diplomat answered the question about how the specified service will be used in the future.
Pavel Durov was detained by French law enforcement agencies last Saturday.
It is reported that the Russian businessman was arrested immediately upon his arrival in France from Azerbaijan.
