FT : Russia targets Telegram as rift with founder Pavel Durov deepens

Russia targets Telegram as rift with founder Pavel Durov deepens
Kremlin steps up curbs against messaging app and promotes a state-backed rival

Russia has opened an investigation into Telegram founder Pavel Durov for “abetting terrorist activities”, in the latest sign that his uneasy relationship with the Kremlin has broken down.

Two Russian newspapers, including the state-run Rossiiskaya Gazeta and Kremlin-friendly tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda, alleged on Tuesday that the messaging app had become a tool of western and Ukrainian intelligence services.

The articles, credited to materials from Russia’s FSB security service, accused Telegram of enabling attacks in Russia and said that Durov’s “actions . . . are under criminal investigation”. Russian authorities did not immediately comment on the reports.

Russia has restricted Telegram’s functions, accusing it of flouting the law and is seeking to divert users towards Max, a state-run rival messenger. The steps escalate pressure on a platform that remains deeply embedded in Russian public life.

Durov left Russia in 2014 after saying the Kremlin forced him to sell his stake in VK, the country’s largest social network, and has since cast Telegram as a privacy-first alternative to state control. He subsequently gained French and Emirati citizenship.

Although Moscow tried and failed to block the app in 2018, it later reached an accommodation.

Durov has also faced scrutiny in the west. French authorities placed him under formal investigation in 2024 over Telegram’s alleged failure to tackle criminal activity, accusations he denies.

The articles published on Tuesday accused Telegram of complying with orders from western governments while ignoring Russian requests, and said Ukraine had used the data for attacks on Russia.

They claimed Telegram had been used in 13 Ukrainian attempts to assassinate high-ranking Russian military officers, as well as a further 33,000 “bombings, arson attacks on recruitment centres, and murders” since the war began.

“Telegram has become the main instrument of Nato countries’ secret services and the ‘Kyiv regime.’ The platform has shied from nothing — intercepting location data, selling secret information and intimidating soldiers and their families,” Rossiiskaya Gazeta wrote.

“Digital platforms have ceased to be a neutral space. In the conditions of total hybrid warfare they are becoming strategic weapons,” it added.

Telegram and Durov did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Moscow’s moves against Telegram and its chief executive could usher in significant changes in Russia, where the Dubai-based app has more than 105mn monthly users.

Even after Russia banned most western social media platforms during the war in Ukraine, ministries publish official statements on Telegram, soldiers use it to co-ordinate actions on the front lines and President Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson speaks to the media via the app.

Russia began throttling Telegram’s traffic earlier this month over what it said was its refusal to store user data in the country and censor content on demand.

Internet censors also blocked WhatsApp and degraded access to YouTube. Russia began limiting voice and video calls on Telegram and WhatsApp last year.

Following the latest moves, Durov accused Russia of “restricting access to Telegram to force its citizens onto a state-controlled app built for surveillance and political censorship”.

The attacks on Telegram have already attracted criticism among the Kremlin’s own supporters, including governors of regions on the Ukrainian border who use it to warn of incoming drone and missile attacks.

FSB director Alexander Bortnikov said last week that Russia had previously negotiated with Durov over Telegram and abandoned those efforts after it “did not lead to anything good”.

Bortnikov did not say what the talks were about or when they were, but accused Durov of “serving his own selfish interests” and enabling “a large number of violations of the law”.

FT : Europe re-arms as US slows defence spending

Europe re-arms as US slows defence spending
Washington remains world’s largest military power but European capitals spend more than before, says IISS

A two-speed arms race is taking shape: the US is slowing its defence spending while Europe accelerates, according to a report.

Data published on Tuesday by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies in its annual Military Balance 2026 shows spending reached an all-time high of $2.63tn last year. But the headline figure masks a widening divergence: Washington is easing back while European capitals press ahead.

Global defence spending rose just 2.5 per cent in real terms in 2025, a sharp slowdown from the near 10 per cent annual growth recorded in the years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The US remains by far the world’s largest military spender, accounting for 36 per cent of global defence outlays in 2025. Yet a 7.1 per cent cut in US spending in real terms dragged down overall growth. 

Europe, by contrast, continued its defence boom and now accounts for more than 21 per cent of global spending, up from 17 per cent in 2022. Germany is responsible for “much of this uplift”, according to the IISS.


Russia’s full-scale invasion, China’s military modernisation and mounting tensions in the Middle East have turned defence from a post-cold war choice back into a necessity.

Under pressure from US President Donald Trump, most Nato members pledged in June 2025 to raise defence and defence-related spending to 5 per cent of GDP by 2035, with at least 3.5 per cent devoted to core military expenditure — up from the previous 2 per cent benchmark. 

Meanwhile, under revised EU fiscal rules, member states may exceed deficit limits if the additional borrowing is used to finance defence.

US defence secretary Pete Hegseth told Nato allies last year that while America remained committed to Nato, Europe must “take ownership of conventional security on the continent”. Washington has since begun to scale back certain defence commitments, demanding greater burden-sharing from allies.

Russia’s own wartime surge has also cooled. Military expenditure rose 3 per cent in real terms in 2025, after a near 57 per cent jump the previous year. Even so, defence spending still absorbs more than 7.3 per cent of GDP — the third-highest share in the world, after Ukraine (21.2 per cent) and Algeria (8.8 per cent).

Trump “has doubled down on the defence of the homeland and placed an emphasis on the western hemisphere”, said IISS. “His administration has begun to roll back on the United States’ long-standing defence commitments and demanded greater burden-sharing among its allies — both in Europe and the Asia-Pacific.”

1. La numéro deux de La Banque Postale rejoint Revolut
Perrine Kaltwasser, membre du directoire et directrice des risques, de la conformité et du secrétariat général de La Banque postale, a démissionné. Son départ s’inscrit dans une longue série d’évictions sous la direction de Stéphane Dedeyan. Elle rejoint Revolut comme responsable des risques pour l’expansion en Europe de l’Ouest. Ancienne cadre de la BCE et de l’ACPR, son départ est perçu comme un effet boomerang pour Dedeyan et sa stratégie de « postalisation ».
2. Rachida Dati s’affiche avec des patrons de la musique pour sa campagne parisienne
La ministre de la Culture a obtenu le soutien d’Angelo Gopee (Live Nation France), Alexandre Kirchhoff (Universal Music/Capitol) et Saïd Boussif (Indifference Prod) pour la mairie de Paris en 2026. Avant de quitter la Rue de Valois, elle a lancé une mission sur le partage de la valeur des captations de spectacles vivants et répondu favorablement à une demande de Fimalac Entertainment.
3. White & Case conseillera la DGEC
La Direction générale de l’énergie et du climat a confié à White & Case un contrat d’assistance juridique transversale de 4,8 millions d’euros pour l’accompagner sur la régulation des installations de production, transport, distribution et stockage d’énergie.
4. Le plan com’ en solo d’Hélène Mercier-Arnault
La femme de Bernard Arnault a lancé une offensive médiatique (TF1, RTL, Vogue Business, Gala, Le Figaro) autour de son prochain album, orchestrée par Louis Jublin (ex-conseiller de Gabriel Attal, via sa société Minerva). LVMH n’était pas au courant. Ses interventions ont attiré l’attention sur la succession au sein de la famille Arnault en pleine crise.
5. Télérama maintient des résultats stables malgré la chute publicitaire
L’hebdomadaire culturel du Groupe Le Monde affiche un résultat d’exploitation positif de 7 M€ en 2025 pour un CA de 68 M€. Les revenus publicitaires ont chuté à 5,7 M€ (contre 11,6 M€ en 2017). Les abonnements représentent 74 % du CA. Le numérique atteint 6,6 % du CA. La hausse de 7 % du tarif postal par La Poste représente un risque financier estimé à 800 000 €.
6. L’INPI refuse la marque « C’est Nicolas qui paie » à Frontières

1. La Banque Postale’s No. 2 leaves for Revolut
Perrine Kaltwasser, a member of La Banque Postale’s board and head of risk, compliance, and the general secretariat, has resigned. Her departure follows a series of executive purges by CEO Stéphane Dedeyan. The 45-year-old will join British fintech Revolut as head of risk for Western European expansion, working alongside Béatrice Cossa-Dumurgier (ex-Société Générale) and Frédéric Oudéa. Before La Banque Postale, Kaltwasser held senior supervisory roles at the ECB and ACPR. Her exit is seen as a boomerang for Dedeyan, who had pushed a “postalization” strategy and sidelined numerous senior figures.
2. Rachida Dati courts music industry bosses for Paris mayoral bid
Culture minister Rachida Dati has secured the support of three major music industry figures — Angelo Gopee (Live Nation France), Alexandre Kirchhoff (Universal Music/Capitol), and Saïd Boussif (Indifference Prod) — for her 2026 Paris mayoral campaign. Before leaving office, she also launched a mission on revenue sharing from live performances and satisfied a longstanding request from the Fimalac Entertainment group.
3. White & Case to advise the DGEC
The French energy and climate directorate (DGEC) has awarded a €4.8 million legal advisory contract to White & Case for guidance on energy infrastructure regulation, production, transport, and storage frameworks.
4. Hélène Mercier-Arnault’s solo media strategy
Bernard Arnault’s wife has launched a major media blitz (TF1, RTL, Vogue Business, Gala, Le Figaro) tied to her upcoming album, orchestrated by Louis Jublin (ex-adviser to PM Gabriel Attal). LVMH was reportedly not informed. Her interviews have shifted attention to the Arnault family succession battle, drawing both praise and criticism.
5. Télérama holds steady despite advertising decline
The Groupe Le Monde cultural weekly posted a €7M operating profit in 2025 on €68M revenue, stable year-on-year, even as ad revenue fell to €5.7M (from €11.6M in 2017). Subscriptions generate 74% of revenue. Digital now represents 6.6% of turnover. A 7% postage price increase by La Poste poses a future financial risk of ~€800K.
6. Frontières blocked by INPI on trademark
The INPI refused to register the trademark “C’est Nicolas qui paie” filed by Artefakt (parent company of the far-right magazine Frontières, founded by Erik Tegnér), ruling the expression is not distinctive and constitutes a widely-used public debate phrase.

>>> What to look at today - 24th of February 2026

Asian shares edged higher, shrugging off US weakness driven by anxiety over artificial intelligence’s impact on corporate profits, as investors bet the region’s chipmakers stand to benefit from supplying the AI buildout.
Shares in South Korea rose 1.9% and Taiwan jumped 2.7% as investors piled into chipmakers, viewing them as the “picks and shovels” of the AI supply chain. Chinese shares also gained on their return from Lunar New Year holidays, helping the broader MSCI Asia Pacific Index erase earlier losses to advance 0.1%. Futures contracts on the S&P 500 rose 0.3%, pointing to firmer sentiment after Monday’s decline in the underlying index. As risk appetite improved, gold slipped following a four-day rally and Treasuries pared gains from the US session, when investors had sought traditional haven assets. Bitcoin slipped to trade around $63,200. The moves in Asia — where markets have outperformed the US this year and largely sidestepped tech-led declines — came after US gauges fell Monday. Tech, delivery and payment shares slid following a Citrini Research report outlining potential AI risks across industries. The weakness was compounded by lingering uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The so-called AI scare trade has become a dominant market theme, with selling spreading beyond software to hit US insurance brokers, private credit firms, cybersecurity names and even real estate services stocks. In comparison, Asian shares have outperformed in 2026, with MSCI’s regional gauge rising 12% this year, while the S&P 500 Index has been little changed. That marks the Asian index’s strongest start to a year relative to the US benchmark on record. Investors are turning to AI infrastructure-related stocks like cablemakers, with that demand “offsetting the worries around software,” said Yugo Tsuboi, chief strategist at Daiwa Securities.  The artificial intelligence “scare trade” erupted again in the US on Monday as growing concerns about the disruptive power of AI dragged down shares of companies and sent International Business Machines Corp. to its worst plunge in 25 years. It began after a bearish report was published over the weekend by a little-known firm called Citrini Research. At risk are intermediation businesses like insurers and banks. His firm had short positions in some of the companies cited in the report, Shah said, while owning “a lot” of semiconductor stocks poised to benefit. Shares of South Korea’s SK Hynix Inc. jumped 4.5% on Tuesday and reached the psychologically key 1 million won per-share price. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. advanced 3.4%, while Samsung Electronics Co. rose 2.8% — its ninth straight day of gains — to an all-time high. All three stocks hit an all-time high. In other corners of the market, Treasuries edged lower with the yield on the benchmark 10-year rising one basis point to 4.04%. The dollar held its gains from the previous session. Oil steadied as Trump said his preference was for a nuclear deal with Iran ahead of talks between the two nations this week. Meanwhile, questions over US tariffs added to the downbeat mood on Monday.  After the Supreme Court’s decision Friday to nix Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs, the White House announced plans to replace the prior levies with a new, across-the-board 15% tariff on US imports. The European Union froze ratification of its US trade deal amid the uncertainty. The US is readying a spate of additional national security investigations that would enable Trump to impose new tariffs, as the administration seeks to rebuild his global tariff regime.
