法国内政部于7月29日宣布驱逐俄罗斯媒体评论员克谢尼娅·费多罗娃出境[1]。内政部指控她充当由俄罗斯当局策划的虚假信息活动的渠道，目的是破坏法国的公共秩序[1]。费多罗娃曾任俄罗斯电视台（RT）法国分部负责人，2022年乌克兰战争全面爆发后RT在法国被禁[1]。随后她留在法国，成为亿万富翁文森特·博洛雷媒体集团的评论员，经常在CNews电视频道、Europe 1广播电台和《星期日日报》发表评论[1]。
目前费多罗娃已被软禁[1]。其律师埃曼努埃尔·皮夫尼卡辩称"克谢尼娅·费多罗娃是一名记者"，并表示将"立即"对驱逐令提出上诉[1]。法国总统马克龙曾在2017年表态指出，当媒体传播诽谤性谎言时，"他们不再是记者。他们是影响力工具"[1]。
France's Interior Ministry announced on Wednesday the expulsion of Ksenia Fedorova, a Russian media commentator, from the country, accusing her of spreading Kremlin propaganda and false information on French television and radio with the intent to destabilize public order.[1] Fedorova, who previously headed the French division of Russia Today (RT), remained in France after the broadcaster was banned following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and subsequently became a commentator for billionaire Vincent Bollore's media group.[1] She has appeared regularly on the CNews television channel, Europe 1 radio station, and in Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper.[1]
According to the Interior Ministry's statement, Fedorova acted as "a channel for disinformation campaigns orchestrated by Russian authorities" intended to "undermine France's public order."[1] The ministry has placed her under house arrest pending her departure.[1] Her lawyer, Emmanuel Piwnica, contested the characterization, stating that "Ksenia Fedorova is a journalist" and announced plans to appeal the expulsion order immediately.[1] President Emmanuel Macron had previously expressed similar sentiments in 2017, declaring that "when media spreads defamatory lies, they are no longer journalists. They are tools of influence."[1]
