And to, you know, describe the theatre and the Home Front and all the elements of war, but i was very worried whether i would come across as some kind of creepy tourist who was just kind of feasting on the unusual sight and ticking it off on a weird bucket list. That wasnt my intention, i was invited there, but im aware that its a sensitive area, isnt it . Oh, but you can see. I mean, vitaly, im sure, agrees with me that the reaction of ukrainians that you were there, they were very honoured, they were so pleased, because they know you, and also because you have become a well known advocate of what is a growing issue for ukraine, and that is how for ukraine, and that is how to deal with Mental Health.

Its a great pleasure to be in your presence, stephen. People in ukraine know who you are, they follow you, and they appreciate what you do. No, im thrilled to be here.

Been arrested close to paris and we re going to explore the implications notjust for him and for telegram, but for many of the biggest tech platforms in the world. To do that, let s begin with mike isaac, tech correspondent for the new york times, who s in san francisco. We didn t quite know a lot from the very beginning.
