Your quote is not in the article. Here's the only instance of the word "Telegram" in the article:

The cross-border flight was presented as an accident by Russian blogger Fighterbomber, who runs a Telegram channel with close links to Russia’s air force.

    Unfortunately, The Guardian doesn't bother to list a single source at all. That's certainly lazy. I didn't dig too deep, but the only reference to a source that I could find anywhere with relation to this story was "a high ranking Ukrainian military official". Not exactly a reliable, unbiased source.
