Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, has been involved in controversies related to sanctions and app removals. Apple removed VK applications from the App Store, citing sanctions, though Durov's former press secretary claimed VK is not on U.S. sanction lists. Durov himself commented on these actions as part of a digital and information war. His net worth decreased significantly during this period, alongside other Russian business figures. He was also reported to have stayed in Tbilisi, Georgia, indicating his current location may be outside Russia.
