The only thing the article is mentioning is that MTC (mobile network operator in Russia) will be able to advertise to users based on their phone number.

MTC can already advertise to users based on their location. 

So, where did you get the information that Telegram "sold all the user data" to the Russian government?

cto @ bwl.gg (lunchbreak.com), 80M+ users (bdut.ch) 🙏 built @remindme, @mintit, @gpt, @healthbot, farcantasy.xyz

not to mention, if previously gathered data (for "analytics purposes") already had a phone number associated but was not used to target ads, you could probably leverage that and create profiles from existing data, with the help of MTS of course
