Several Ukrainian military bots were temporarily blocked in the Telegram messenger, which caused a violent reaction among users. Less than a day after the blocking, these accounts were restored, which gave rise to many discussions about the reasons and motives for this decision.

According to observers, the blocking could have been initiated not by the central office of Telegram, but by one of the regional support groups, which are believed to consist mainly of volunteers. Mikhail Zvinchuk reports this.

On the other hand, there is information that Telegram management was under pressure from the Apple Store and Google Play platforms, since after the feedback bots were blocked, calls appeared for the removal of similar Russian resources.
