France says uncovers major disinformation campaign waged by Russia


Story by NEWS WIRES • Yesterday 08:07 - France 24

France on Tuesday said it had uncovered a major Russian disinformation campaign, with false news items hostile to Ukraine made to look like they were published by prominent French news media.


Western states have been acutely concerned about an intensification of Russian-led disinformation campaigns, as Moscow seeks to influence public opinion across the world over its invasion of Ukraine.

"France condemns these actions unworthy of a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council," Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said.

"The French authorities are working closely with their partners to defeat the hybrid warfare led by Russia," she added.

France has for several years sounded the alarm over alleged Russian disinformation campaigns in areas of Francophone Africa, particularly those where the Russian mercenary group Wagner has been active.

Again I'm sitting at a local small market scratching my lottery tickets and a delivery truck parks next to me with his hate radio blasting, and the shit I heard was pure evil misinformation, it's like the GQPs want to do harm on anyone who disagrees them. They are violent.
