Kremlin says curbs on Telegram app are a result of its non-compliance with the law

MOSCOW, Feb 11 (Reuters) – The Kremlin said ​on Wednesday ‌that the Telegram messenger app had to ‌comply ​with ⁠Russian law ⁠and that the state communications regulator was ​obliged to act if ⁠Telegram ⁠did not ​respond to its ​requests.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry ‌Peskov was speaking a day after ⁠Roskomnadzor, the state communications regulator, said ⁠Telegram ‌would face ⁠further restrictions ​because ‌it has ​failed ⁠to correct previous violations.
