Pavel Durov had to flee Russia after resisting Putin's influence on VK. That's public information known to everyone who cares to spend a minute reading his Wikipedia article.
That's what he says.
Ukrainian special services, on the other hand, point out servers and most Telegram employees residing in St. Petersburg and claim that he made few dozen visits to Russia since his alleged flight from there.
Telegram isn't banned in Ukraine. Can't be that bad.
Durov is full of shit

The world isn't that simple. It's possible that things could have changed since the regime formally took over VK.
