As a result of what? And this is between Russia/USA which has nothing to do with GDPR.

And moreover, company has to be GDPR compliant and not an app. An app may include stuff that helps to be GDPR compliant, but is only a subset of what is required to be compliant.

The prior sentence explains that because users haven’t been able to update the app, it would potentially be an older version which does not include any changes they have implemented since then for compliance.

FWIW, from the man/Durov himself:

"as a result, we’ve also been unable to fully comply with GDPR for our EU-users by the deadline of May 25, 2018. We are continuing our efforts to resolve the situation and will keep you updated."

To be fair, they had fully two years to do this before the May 25th "deadline".
