France has uncovered a
“structured and coordinated
Russian propaganda
”
network targeting European countries and the United States, intended to legitimize the war against Ukraine and whose contents are likely to
“harm the fundamental interests of the nation
,” diplomatic sources announced on Monday.
At least 193 websites make up this network, according to Viginum, the French organization fighting against foreign digital interference, which publishes a report.
They
“do not produce any original content but massively relay publications originating mainly from social network accounts of Russian or pro-Russian actors, Russian press agencies and official sites of local institutions or actors,”
explain the authors.
