French TV under fire over interview with Russia’s Lavrov

PARIS, France: French public television came under severe criticism on Friday for airing a prime-time interview with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The France 2 television channel aired 10 minutes of the pre-recorded interview during its Thursday evening news, while the full hour-long version was posted online. More than four years into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Lavrov on France 2 claimed Moscow was intent on defending “international law.” He said the US-Israeli strikes on Iran that sparked the Middle East war had breached these rules.
