Error on Telegram setup

[dort-bit]

Good day! During the initial setup/first launch configuration, I am receiving a PHONE_CODE_INVALID error. I have attached
the log. Could this error be related to the fact that I am in Russia?

"Google AI Overview" (so not a primary source) says:

The "PHONE_CODE_INVALID" error in Russia often occurs because Russian mobile operators have been instructed by the state to block the transmission of SMS or voice call verification codes used by Telegram for registration and login. This measure is part of ongoing governmental efforts to exert control over digital communications.

But it sounds like you are receiving a verification code, just that it doesn't work?

Is your code received via SMS or via the phone Telegram app btw?

If you can use Telegram on the phone, feel free to join the group https://t.me/nchatusers which I believe has some Russian users who might know more details about any restrictions.
