Ukraine has imposed a ban on the use of the Telegram messaging app by government officials, military personnel, and critical infrastructure workers. The decision, effective from September 19, was made by the National Coordination Center for Cybersecurity due to security concerns.

Exceptions are made only for individuals whose use of Telegram is deemed essential. The app, founded by Russian-born Pavel Durov, is considered a threat on state-issued devices.
