Lviv Regional Administration bans Telegram on official devices for security
The Lviv Regional Military Administration has banned employees from using Telegram on official devices, according to its website on Oct. 11.
The Lviv Regional Military Administration restricted the use of Telegram on official devices, prohibiting its installation and the exchange of official information through the platform.
"We fully support this decision as securing information systems and data is a priority during wartime.
Limiting Telegram use will help reduce cyber threats from the enemy," the administration stated.
The administration also checked its devices for the app and provided guidance to staff and local communities.
The ban, however, does not affect official Telegram channels used for public communication.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
