MOSCOW, Feb 21 (Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti) -- The use of Telegram by Russian soldiers in the military zone has repeatedly threatened their lives over the past three months, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) told RIA Novosti.

The FSB said that there is reliable data suggesting that the Ukrainian armed forces and the special services have the ability to receive information from Telegram and use it for military purposes.

"As a result of the analysis of Telegram, we have obtained reliable data indicating that its use by military personnel of the Russian armed forces in the area of the special military operation over the past three months has repeatedly led to a threat to the lives of military personnel," the statement read.
