French Perspective

French Perspective

Similar to the perspectives on Ukraine in Germany discussed in the previous episode, French society largely discovered Ukraine only after February 24, 2022. At first, French media showed immense interest, frequently requesting commentary from French-speaking Ukrainian journalists and experts. Ukraine was at the center of attention, but as the war became a prolonged reality, pitching stories about Ukraine grew more challenging. What angles do journalists now explore to keep French audiences engaged with Ukraine? And how is Ukraine perceived today?


This episode features a discussion between literary scholar and journalist Tetyana Ogarkova and Ukraine correspondent for Le Figaro, Mediapart, and L'Express, Clara Marchaud. The conversation took place at a Kyiv Media Hub event on November 1, 2024.


Hosted and organised by Oksana Mamchenkova.

Edited, sound-designed and mixed by Lyuba Gook.

Covering Ukraine is a podcast produced by The Europe-Ukraine Desk, a project of n-ost, funded by the European Commission.
