Medvedev: Telegram CEO's escape from Russia and thinking he would never have to cooperate with security services abroad was a miscalculation

Odaily News Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said it was a miscalculation for Telegram CEO Pavel Durov to flee Russia thinking he would never have to work with security services abroad. Medvedev, who frequently used Telegram to criticize the West, said Durov wanted to be a "brilliant 'world citizen' and live a good life without a homeland." "He miscalculated," Medvedev said. "To all our common enemies he is Russian — and therefore unpredictable and dangerous." Russia's Foreign Ministry said it had sent a note to Paris requesting a meeting with Durov, even though he already holds French citizenship. (CNBC)
