Three years after the ban of Russia Today France, its director, Xenia Fedorova, is making her big return to French media. Now a columnist on the show L’Heure Inter on CNews, she has also published a book where she claims to denounce "disinformation" in France and advocates for freedom of thought and information.
Recruited by Vincent Bolloré, Xenia Fedorova joins a media empire that provides a platform for conspiracy theories, ultraconservative rhetoric, and pro-Russian discourse. In her media appearances and writings, Xenia Fedorova denies Russia's responsibility in the invasion of Ukraine, attacks the French press, and criticizes the closure of RT France, which was banned in 2022 by the European Commission due to its active role in Moscow's information war.

One third of responses generated by conversational AIs on topics related to the war in Ukraine or international politics are reportedly false and influenced by Kremlin propaganda.
Several recent investigations reveal that content from the “Pravda” network (also known as “Portal Kombat”), a group of 150 propaganda websites publishing in 46 languages, has been incorporated into the training data of certain AIs such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Le Chat.
This propaganda network produces 1,500 articles per day in multiple languages to manipulate public opinion, promote Kremlin interests, and attack Ukraine and the West. The more frequently a piece of information is repeated across platforms and in different languages, the more credible it appears to AI algorithms — and the more likely it is to ...

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has been waging a war that goes beyond the military battlefield: it directly targets the identity and memory of the Ukrainian people. By systematically bombing civilian and cultural infrastructure, it violates international humanitarian law and commits war crimes, for which those responsible will have to be held accountable in court.
Destroying a museum, a library, or a theater is an attempt to erase a country's history and culture. Russia’s aggression is not limited to strategic or military infrastructure; it also targets places that embody Ukraine’s intellectual and artistic richness.The Mariupol Theater, bombed by the Russian army on March 16, 2022.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, millions of people have been forced to flee their homes, while others have found themselves trapped under Russian occupation.
Destruction, fear, and repression define the daily lives of those who remain. Living under occupation means not only the deprivation of fundamental freedoms but also the gradual erasure of Ukrainian identity.
In Russian-controlled territories—Kherson, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia—residents are under constant surveillance. Patrols roam the streets, checking identities and hunting down those who refuse to accept Russian rule. Repression is systematic: arbitrary arrests, disappearances, and torture. Some are killed, while others are exchanged after months of captivity.
The occupation also bring...

In 2014, Ukraine’s pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, was ousted following a popular uprising. Fearing the loss of its influence over Ukraine, Moscow sent troops into Crimea. A puppet government was installed, led by Sergey Aksyonov, the head of a minor pro-Russian party, who immediately called for the peninsula’s annexation by Russia.
A few days later, under military occupation and in an atmosphere of fear, a sham referendum was held with no international observers. The results, widely manipulated, claimed that 96.8% of voters supported joining Russia. This political spectacle was swiftly condemned by the UN, the European Union, and the United States, which never recognized the so-called vote and imposed sanctions on Crimean and Russian officials involved—freezing assets, issui...

On March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights, for illegal deportation, forced transfer, and coerced adoption of Ukrainian children.
A symbol of this criminal policy, Maria Lvova-Belova herself adopted a Ukrainian teenager—kidnapped from his family—who was originally from Mariupol.Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova in Russia on May 31, 2024 – Alexander Kazakov/Sputnik via AP
Documented evidence shows that since 2014, Russia has orchestrated the forced relocation of Ukrainian children to its territory. Once torn from their homeland, these children are subjected to brainwashing, and their identity documents are altered to erase their origins.
According to Bri...
