Partial restrictions have been imposed on voice calls in Telegram and WhatsApp messengers in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This was announced by the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media of Russia, known as Roskomnadzor. According to the organization, these measures were adopted to combat crime and following numerous appeals from citizens. Recently, fraud and dangerous calls have increased specifically through voice calls. According to Roskomnadzor, there have been many cases of deceiving citizens, extorting money, as well as involving them in sabotage and terrorist activities via these messengers. For this reason, several demands were sent to the owners of Telegram and WhatsApp to take measures against crime, but they were not fulfilled. As a result, the restrictions apply only to voice calls, while other functions such as text messaging and file sharing continue to operate. Additionally, starting from 2024, calls made through number spoofing are being blocked by operators in Russia via the “Antifraud” system. However, an increase in calls through messengers that do not meet security requirements has been noted. The WhatsApp press service provided information about the end-to-end encryption system, emphasizing that this system is designed so that only the sender and receiver can read the data, and that it resists government attempts to breach secure communication. Therefore, the Russian government is trying to impose restrictions on over a hundred million users in the country. The Telegram press service stated that the platform is actively fighting against harmful activities. They are working to ensure user safety by monitoring public channels with artificial intelligence tools, deleting millions of harmful messages daily, and implementing privacy settings for calls. Furthermore, according to Downdetector data on August 11, widespread technical malfunctions occurred on WhatsApp and Telegram. The number of complaints from Russian users has sharply increased since August 10, mostly concerning connection interruptions during video calls. According to statistics from the Central Bank of Russia as of February 2025, 45.6% of fraud cases were committed via mobile communication, and 15.7% through messengers. Experts believe that the imposed restrictions may stop some dangerous schemes but could negatively affect users’ freedom of daily communication.

Veteran member of the Dinamo team Aleksey Petrushin shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with the online publication "Evro-Futbol.ru" about the defeat against Krasnodar in the cup match and the team's performance at the start of the season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Dinamo suffered a heavy defeat to Krasnodar in yesterday's cup match. What do you think were the main problems? – Yesterday, the coach did not field the main lineup; Karpin wanted to test the close reserves. This situation is common among all teams at this stage of the cup. What is your opinion about the reserves? – Many of these players had left a good impression in previous friendly matches. However, yesterday they showed themselves poorly. The team's defense did not work at all. The southern team overwhelmed Moscow's defense. Dinamo made many mistakes from the goalkeeper to the outfield players. The visitors did not have to force errors with complex combinations. Dinamo scores few goals and creates few chances. What is the reason? – Krasnodar played well defensively. Therefore, Dinamo was almost unable to play in attack. Only in the second half did the players become more active, but the visitors tried to maintain the score. What do you think about the opinion that Karpin's adaptation to Dinamo is taking a long time? – There is another issue here. It is incorrect to compare Rostov and Dinamo. Rostov was not among the top teams with Karpin; the levels of these two teams differ. The Russian national team will play many friendly matches in the fall, and Karpin will be constantly involved with the national team. Does this not negatively affect Dinamo? – Rolon Gusev assists Karpin at the club; at the end of last season, he won three out of four games. He knows the team well. There are no major problems during training. Karpin leaves the work plan and stays in contact. If the head coach is left without supervision, won't the team slack off? – That cannot happen. The coaches stay in contact; Karpin knows who is preparing how. He is always mentally with Dinamo. Dinamo will play against CSKA in the next round. What do you expect? – I want to see good football. The current CSKA is one of the strongest teams. They demonstrate spectacular and effective play. The players are fully prepared and active for the entire 90 minutes. Glebov leads the attack. It will not be easy for the hosts, but Karpin's team must prove themselves. Interview by Elena Grigoryevskaya.
