Russian Foreign Ministry Condemns France’s Order to Deport Former RT Journalist
French authorities issued a deportation order last month for Ksenia Fedorova, the former head of state broadcaster RT France.
Russia's Foreign Ministry harshly criticized France's decision to deport Ksenia Fedorova, a prominent Russian journalist and former head of state broadcaster RT France. The ministry labeled the action as "unacceptable" and denounced it as a retaliation against a dissenting voice. French authorities have accused Fedorova of serving as a "Russian agent" and spreading disinformation to undermine France's interests.
However, Russian officials have dismissed these claims as baseless and an attempt to discredit independent journalism in Russia. Fedorova, who has been vocal about her opposition to the deportation, lost a legal battle to prevent her deportation. The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed disappointment over the court's decision, stating that Russia is facing unprecedented challenges in the face of such reprisals against journalists.
They emphasized their commitment to providing unbiased and accurate reporting, and urged for support to continue their work despite the repressive environment.
