💨 Abstract

Russia withdrew accreditation from Le Monde's Moscow correspondent, leaving the newspaper without a correspondent in Moscow for the first time since the 1950s. This action was in response to France's refusal to issue a visa to a Russian reporter. Le Monde criticized this move as a "covert expulsion of our journalist." France believes that Russian journalists denied visas are working for Russian intelligence.
