Share:
A known Kremlin propagandist has been appearing in French media outlets, sparking debate about how she obtained permission to reside in France. The woman has been employed by media companies owned by Vincent Bolloré, a French billionaire businessman who controls several television channels and newspapers. French authorities and commentators are questioning the vetting process that allowed someone identified as spreading Russian propaganda to gain legal residency status in the country, particularly given France's stance on Russian disinformation campaigns since the invasion of Ukraine.
