Macron to raise with Putin ‘protection’ for journalist who protested on TV

French President Emmanuel Macron has said he will offer protection to Russian journalist facing a long prison sentence after she brandished on live TV a slogan protesting the invasion [Sp.Op.] of Ukraine.



“We will launch diplomatic efforts aiming to offer [her] protection — either at the embassy but also protection through asylum. I will have the chance at my next talks with President Putin to propose this solution in a very direct and concrete manner,” Macron said on a visit to the Loire region of western France.

She also risked criminal charges with a penalty of up to 15 years in jail under new laws introduced after President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24.
