France warns Russia of 'response' over journalist acccreditation

France warned of possible retaliation against Russia after the country revoked press accreditation for French reporter Benjamin Quenelle, labeling it a "disguised expulsion." The French foreign ministry called the decision "unjustified and arbitrary," threatening a response if not reconsidered. Russia’s move followed France's refusal to issue visas to journalists from pro-Kremlin media, whom Paris accused of espionage. Le Monde condemned Russia's decision, noting that even during the Cold War, it maintained operations in Moscow.
