"Russian journo Victoria Ivanova was denied access to the premises of [the French] Presidential Palace despite full compliance with accreditation rules. @HarlemDesir what do you think on this discouraging act? Would certainly not desire the same approach to the French journalists in MSK?" the ministry said on its Twitter.

On Monday, the RIA Novosti reporter was denied access to the ceremony, where Russian Ambassador to France Alexei Meshkov was set to present his credentials to French President Emmanuel Macron.
Earlier this year, the Elysee Palace banned a RIA Novosti journalist and a photographer from attending a meeting of Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel.
