Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the digital head of redaction, Xavier Tytelman is known for his analysis about the conflict. The defence consultant is as such invited to numerous French media channels for his expertise, notably his use of OSINT data. He can be described as pro-Ukrainian as he funded paramilitary equipment for French volunteers of the Ukrainian International Legion with donations made by his YouTube channel.
