The Russian Ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, condemned the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov as an attack on free speech.

Freedom of the press has not been ‘a thing’ in the Russian Federation for some time.

“I have heard about the accusations. They are very serious,” the diplomat said in an English-language interview. “I hope that he has sufficient defense capabilities, because his position should be defended very seriously. At the same time, in general, we perfectly understand that it’s a big blow on the freedom of press, freedom of [information] traffic,” said Kelin, reported Russian state news agency TASS.

In Kelin’s opinion, the United States played a certain role in Durov’s detention.

“Paris has done it on certain advice from the United States. They want keys from this messenger. The messenger has been very successful in Russia and other areas. Yes, we do use this messenger, so I do believe and other do believe that Washington, Paris and other Western capitals would like to read it,” Kelin added.
