Pro-Russian commentator Xenia Fedorova targeted by expulsion order

France's Interior Ministry has issued an expulsion order against Xenia Fedorova, a pro-Russian commentator and former director of RT France. The ministry stated that Fedorova is accused of being the Kremlin's voice in French media and that her presence in France constitutes a "particularly serious and current threat to public order."

The expulsion order, confirmed by the Interior Ministry to AFP, details that Fedorova's "behavior undermines the fundamental interests of the state." The document further alleges that by disseminating her narratives on various French radio and television channels, she acts as a conduit for disinformation campaigns orchestrated by Russian authorities.

Fedorova, who has appeared on media outlets associated with Vincent Bolloré, is accused of aiming to destabilize public order in France through these alleged disinformation efforts. The Interior Ministry's decision marks a significant move against individuals perceived as spreading Russian propaganda within the country.
