Russian Foreign Ministry’s BIG CLAIMS On Romanian Elections | ‘TelegramFounder Durov Arrested…’
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.
Fact check: Did France ask Telegram founder Durov to silence Romanian conservatives?
Paris has categorically rejected the allegations made by Telegram founder Pavel Durov, who has provided no evidence to back up his allegations.

France has denied allegations of interfering in Romania’s presidential elections after Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed a “Western European government” asked him to block Romanian conservatives ahead of the vote. Durov hinted at France with a baguette emoji and accused French intel chief Nicolas Lerner of personally approaching him. France called the accusations “unfounded” and blamed Moscow for interference in the earlier annulled round. The tight runoff between centrist Nicusor and Euroskeptic Simion is now mired in deeper controversy.

Zelensky will resign and leave Ukraine, former Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov has predicted, citing what he described as a US-backed effort to remove the country’s leader. In a post on Telegram on Sunday, Azarov suggested that the decision to remove Zelensky from power “has already been made in the US” and that Washington has given the “go-ahead” for his ouster. He wrote that although the Ukrainian leader has support in Europe, it is unlikely to change anything and will “hardly help” him.

The pact strengthens joint deterrence capabilities and marks a unified European nuclear posture not seen before. The deal also expands their Joint Expeditionary Force to 50,000 troops.

Russia has revealed that Washington has “postponed” a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.–Russia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washington’s intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The “irritant removal” dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty. Is Washington backing away or recalibrating its approach?

Russia has issued a dire warning to Israel following reported strikes on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant, calling the attack potentially catastrophic—comparable to Chernobyl. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova condemned any further strikes on Iran’s "peaceful" nuclear sites, citing the risk to Russian scientists stationed at Bushehr. Moscow has also warned the U.S. against military involvement, threatening “unpredictable consequences.” While Israel has neither confirmed nor denied the strike, the incident has sparked global alarm and intensified the nuclear crisis in the region.

The Kremlin has intensified its criticism of French President Emmanuel Macron, alleging that France's support for Ukraine includes backing neo-fascist elements. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova cited reports of French nationals fighting in Ukraine's 'International Revenge' unit, accusing them of harboring neo-Nazi ideologies. France has denied these claims, labeling them as disinformation. The accusations come amid ongoing tensions over France's military aid to Ukraine and discussions about deploying peacekeepers, raising questions about Macron's commitment to a peaceful resolution.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova mocked President Zelensky, claiming even Western allies are now “laughing in his face.” Zakharova said 17 rounds of sanctions have failed and the West sees no point in more.
