MOSCOW, Feb 7 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday that France's refusal to grant visas to two journalists of Russian news outlet Izvestia amounted to discrimination.
State news agency RIA said the pair had been refused visas to visit France to report on commemorations this year of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two.
Russia said on Thursday it had refused to extend the accreditation of Le Monde's long-serving Moscow correspondent Benjamin Quénelle after France declined to grant a visa to a journalist from another Russian newspaper, Komsomolskaya Pravda.
