OREANDA-NEWS Telegram does not depend on Russian capital and investors, said Pavel Durov, the founder of the platform, in his channel.
"Telegram does not depend on Russian capital. There was not a single Russian investor in our recent $1.7 billion bond offering," he wrote.
Durov also noted that the old bonds issued in 2021 have been repaid and do not pose a problem. At the same time, bondholders do not have the right to vote in Telegram's decisions, and he himself is the sole shareholder.
On Tuesday, the Financial Times newspaper reported that Telegram had lost access to about half a billion dollars in financing after blocking part of the bonds due to anti-Russian sanctions.
