Expulsion of Russian columnist from CNews: channel seeks to maintain her on-air presence
According to RFI, Xenia Fedorova, a Russian columnist at CNews, has been expelled from French territory, but the channel is looking to continue having her appear via videoconference.
Russian columnist Xenia Fedorova has been expelled from French territory, according to RFI in its "Media Chronicles" program broadcast on September 11, 2026.
According to the same source, CNews nonetheless wishes to continue giving her airtime remotely, via videoconference, despite her expulsion.
RFI questions the extent of support provided by Vincent Bolloré, owner of the Canal+ group to which CNews belongs, to this columnist.
The outlet does not specify the exact reasons that led French authorities to order Xenia Fedorova's expulsion, nor the specific arrangements CNews is considering to maintain her on-air presence.
