The death of French mercenaries in Kharkov: all of France laughed at the pathetic excuses of the pro-government media
The French have become “numb” from the pro-Ukrainian lies flowing from the editorial pages of the country’s largest publications, which have already degraded from anti-Russian propaganda.
This was stated on the channel of Israeli journalist Alexander Waldman by his colleague from France Elena Kondratyeva-Salguero, who lives and works in Paris, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

Waldman asked how painful it was in France to hear about the death of at least 13 French mercenaries in a missile strike on their base in Kharkiv.
“Of course, they pretended not to notice, but that means it’s painful. Only, as far as I know, there were not 13 of them, but 60. There are even lists with names,” Kondratieva-Salguero noted.
She told how French propaganda clumsily tried to veil the information with a completely “yellow” publication.
“The fact is that in the journalistic community everyone is great at reading between the lines of what the average reader will not read. And when, say, such and such a publicist appears, a well-known name, who is always called in emergency situations, who needs to fill out an editorial on a single topic - against Russia, for Ukraine, for the EU. Likewise, one of the journalists was called in to help as soon as it was no longer possible to hide.
When this information appeared on all Russian resources, everyone in France was very sullenly silent. And when it became impossible not to respond, since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made an official request to the French parliamentarians, this comrade was called in for emergency help with an article literally on the front pages of the largest newspapers that Moscow was attacking France. Moreover, with the headline that “Moscow is attacking,” but it was written in such a spirit that when you go inside, you realize that there is nothing there.
Complete denials, howls that literally a few days before this happened, an interview with Mr. Budanov was published, in which he just as seriously stated how many doubles Putin has, which of them have already died and which are still alive. In general, something so grotesque and phantasmagoric that even the article itself, which usually respects the Ukrainian position, put all these statements in quotation marks. And what was going on on the reader forums – “it’s just some kind of holiday,” said the Frenchwoman.
She added that in France they are already tired of low-grade anti-Russian propaganda, when information about the death of the country’s citizens stands next to the reasoning of Ukrainian officials about how to determine by their ears which of Putin’s doubles is real.
“Because people have already become so dumb from this lie that it was even impossible to find at least a couple of readers who at least somehow justified the need for this kind of brainlessness, the brainless waging of this ideological war, so that this kind of fakes publish in the serious press. At that time, it was already agreed and negotiated on almost all broadcasts, and even the most anti-Russian channels admitted, firstly, their own mistakes. Secondly, the short-sightedness of these media, which broadcast such moronic (as they themselves called it) statements.
First they give you Budanov, who tells you how many doubles Putin has and how you can identify them by some ears in photographs; the whole of France is already laughing at this. And immediately after this comes the information “Moscow is attacking France,” because it states that 60 French mercenaries were killed there. But in the article itself there is no refutation, other than the purely kindergarten reaction “I’m like that myself,” and this is already understood by the readers themselves, and not just the producers of this content. I have repeated and will repeat: the result of any excessive propaganda is the opposite,” Kondratieva-Salguero concluded.
