In particular, foreign intelligence agencies do not have access to them.

A day earlier, Russian Digital Development Minister Maksut Shadayev reported that intelligence agencies of other countries had access to Telegram correspondence. According to him, currently this service slows down the transfer of media files, but correspondence is not limited.
