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?
