France: despite the truce, drones keep falling — Paris watches an American 72-hour peace with scepticism
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
France: French coverage of the 72-hour truce is marked by scepticism. 20 Minutes headlined on 8 May: 'Despite the Russian ceasefire, drones are falling, causing a fire in the Chernobyl zone.' Le Monde tracked events hour by hour in a live blog, noting that Putin received Slovak PM Robert Fico — the only European leader to travel to Moscow for the May 9 commemorations. France 24 reports that Putin said he was ready to 'negotiate with the EU' — a formulation that intrigues Paris. France, which has championed a European negotiation framework since 2022, watches with some frustration as mediation was entirely captured by Washington.
