    I don’t see any agreement possible just because Russia had literally nothing to offer to Telegram.

      Telegram is VERY popular there. What it has to offer are users who would see ads and pay for the subscription.

        But the ban was only somewhat effective for like a month, then Telegram found a way to avoid it. In two years no one even felt like it was banned. So what could Russia offer to Telegram? Literally nothing.
