Between 1 March 2018 and 31 August 2021 — estimated from Telegram’s id allocation, not measured. How this range is calculated.
International news — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 10 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 95% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and the other topics.
Growth
57 measurements spanning 91 days, net +44. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 17,082–17,313 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 6 November 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.

Measured directly from 258 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 528 of the 529 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 20,673 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 529 most recent posts we hold, published 5 August 2026 to 5 November 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Recent posts
Telegram’s own ‘edited’ marker: 0 of 64 posts held from the last 30 days (0%) carried it when this register last read them. The marker says a post was changed after publishing, not what it said before — this register holds the earlier wording only where an edit fell between two of its own reads (see the edit ledger and how it is measured).
Ukrainian warriors of the 1021st Anti-Aircraft Missile and Artillery Brigade intercepted and destroyed a Russian "Geran-5" jet-powered UAV using a jet interceptor drone.

In far-off Siberia, a powerful explosion occurred on a main gas pipeline. A massive fire broke out in the Topki Municipal District of the Kemerovo region. According to preliminary information, the alleged cause of the "pop" was the depressurization of the gas pipeline. This is already the second recorded case of a large-scale fire on a main gas pipeline in the RF over the past month.
A Russian occupier codenamed "Gordy" from the 1465th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Russian Armed Forces has gone missing in Donbas - other Muscovites from the unit suspect suicide due to a total lack of supplies and complete exhaustion. The story about "Gordy's" final days in Donbas was intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence officers.
The National Police of Ukraine stated that the death toll in Komyshuvakha has risen to 42 people. Another 33 people may remain under the rubble. It is reported that the school was struck with the same type of bomb that was dropped on Azovstal.
Work is buzzing at the Astrakhan Gas Processing Plant. The Russians are draping nets and erecting more scaffolding around the facility. Time will tell if any of this saves it from Ukrainian drones.
Also, during her speech, the US First Lady stated that a ceasefire in Oleshky would have been impossible without Putin and Zelenskyy.
Well, if Russia hadn't attacked Ukraine in the first place, there would be no occupation of Oleshky, and there would be no need to evacuate anyone.
Melania Trump stated that she had prepared letters for Zelenskyy and Putin and handed them over to the delegations of Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
The DIU reported that as of the end of September, 15 out of 38 main Russian oil refineries were taken out of operation, while another 12 reduced their refined oil production. Total oil refining volumes at these facilities decreased by 55.4% compared to the beginning of the year. Russia's losses from the strikes by the Defense Forces of Ukraine on oil industry facilities exceed $23.2 billion.
It is reported that in occupied Sevastopol, Russian blogger Romanov was detained for describing the evacuation from Oleshky. On his channel, the propagandist wrote that 17 buses from occupied Oleshky left for Ukraine, while only 4 left for the RF. Now Romanov will stand trial under the article on "fakes" regarding the war against Ukraine. The maximum penalty is 15 years in prison.
Using drones, the Defense Forces of Ukraine destroyed a missile and artillery weapons depot and a repair base, along with several Russian occupiers. The drones flew a very long distance from the front line, striking targets in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Showing the 12 most recent of 529 posts we hold for @wartranslated. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Posts edited after publishing
@wartranslated edited 1 post after it first published — the same permalink now carries different wording than the one this register originally read, caught because our own crawl held a copy of the earlier text.
An edit is not deception. Typo fixes, price updates and corrections look exactly like this too — this register can tell you the wording changed and when, not why. How this is measured.

Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Mentions
Named by 10 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
Appears in Telegram’s recommendations for other channels
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
