In a heart-wrenching statement, Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, shared that his girlfriend, Yulia Vavilova, tragically lost their baby after being interrogated by French authorities. The couple recounted the events that unfolded following Durov’s arrest in France.
After landing in France, Yulia had her tech devices confiscated and was unable to respond to the online negativity that surfaced. Already feeling unwell, she took a pregnancy test, which confirmed she was expecting. Despite advice from her doctor to avoid additional stress, Yulia agreed to attend the police interrogation. Sadly, the stress became overwhelming, and two days ago, doctors confirmed that the baby had passed away in the womb, requiring her to undergo surgery.
Yulia reflected on the situation, stating, “We managed to handle everything, but it was too much for the baby.”
