According to the Council of the EU, Ms. Fedorova actively spreads “pro-Russian narratives” in France and the European Union, and supports Russia’s policies and actions that “undermine democracy and stability in the European Union.”.
Ksenia Fedorova has led RT France since 2017. The European Union banned broadcasting of Russia Today and its subsidiaries in February 2022. About a year later, French authorities blocked RT France's accounts and the bureau shut down. She has since collaborated with French media outlets CNews, Europe 1 and Le JDNews.
The prefecture of the Paris police ordered Ksenia Fedorova to leave France in July 2026. Ms. Fedorova filed a complaint against the decision of the French Interior Ministry, but the court rejected it. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the expulsion of the journalist an “act of reprisal.”.
