According to him, 55,000 soldiers have been killed in four years.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on March 12 that the Telegram messenger needs to comply with the requirements of Russian law and maintain a constructive dialogue with government agencies to prevent possible restrictions.

On March 18, Roskomnadzor announced that the administration of the Telegram messenger still does not comply with Russian legislation. Prior to that, the messenger had ignored 150,000 requests to delete information prohibited in Russia.
