Russia has accused French President Emmanuel Macron of arresting Telegram founder Pavel Durov to meddle in Romania’s 2024 elections.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claims France acted to suppress conservative voices on Telegram during the campaign.
Durov earlier stated French intelligence requested censorship on his platform.
He was detained in August 2023, charged, and released on bail in March.
The controversy comes amid disputed election results, disqualified candidates, and allegations of foreign interference, with Durov now offering to testify before Romanian authorities to support electoral transparency.
