Ex-Correspondent of First Channel said, which resigned because of war in Ukraine

Jeanne Agalakova, until recently, the international correspondent of the Russian state “first channel”, for the first time after dismissal in early March, publicly spoke of the reasons whipped it to this step. Agalakova held a press conference in the office of “Reporters Without Borders” in Paris. Applications of the former correspondent of the “Channel One” also distributed the Twitter account of the organization.

As the French international radio RFI reports, Agalakova clarified that she filed a statement about the departure of March 3 (when he returned to Paris from Milan, where she caught the beginning of the war), and then two weeks passed the case. In recent years, Agalakov worked at the Bureau of the First Channel in Paris and New York.

During a press conference, she called the war permitted by Russia. Agalakova also called the “big lies” characterizing the Ukrainian state as the Nazis.

The journalist noted that a long time had doubts about the work on the propaganda television channel: “I thought that I could tell about life in Europe – and especially in Paris – I can avoid propaganda. I did not lie, every fact was real. But take real Facts, mix them, and get big lies. “

According to Agalakova, many state-owned staff in Russia share its position, but not everyone can do the same as it.

After the start of hostilities in Ukraine, journalists of federal television began to dismiss in disagreement with military propaganda: the TV presenter of Lilia Guildeev and the correspondent in the EU Vadim Glusker, and from the first channel – a correspondent in France Zhanna Agalakova.
