The claim that France has restricted Russian journalists' access to the 2024 Olympics due to concerns about potential spies is accurate. French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin confirmed that some Russian journalists were denied accreditation for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games out of caution and fear of espionage. This decision was part of a broader security measure that reviewed 960,000 individuals, resulting in 4,340 denials, including journalists, volunteers, and stadium workers. The French authorities allowed Russian journalists working for the International Olympic Committee but restricted others due to potential risks, including cyberattacks. This information is corroborated by multiple sources, including UNN and Espreso TV.
