The new app, signed by Vladimir Putin, will gradually replace platforms such as WhatsApp and Telegram in the Russian administration, offering increased security and bureaucratic functionality. It is part of a program of 'sovereign digitalization' after the withdrawal of Western companies. However, experts warn the move could affect freedom of expression and privacy, and the details of the transition remain unclear, creating uncertainty over its impact.
