**Russian Cybersecurity Alliance leader claims US behind Durov’s arrest in France**
**Odaily Planet Daily News**: Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Russian Cybersecurity Alliance, has confirmed that the US orchestrated the arrest of Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov in France. Mizulina expressed her longstanding concerns about Durov’s safety outside of Russia on her personal Telegram channel, fearing he could be detained at any moment, as has happened before at the request of the US. She previously speculated that Durov’s safety may have been due to his cooperation with Western intelligence, but recent developments suggest otherwise. Mizulina also believes that Durov’s arrest is intended to curb Toncoin trading on Telegram, in line with the US’s ongoing sanctions policies.
