Operation "Matryoshka": Russia used France riots for disinformation

A Russian disinformation network attempted to exploit October riots in France by spreading fake videos impersonating Western media, according to an internal EU report. The materials blamed migrants for the chaos and portrayed the government as helpless. Analysis by the French foreign ministry indicates that hostile narratives from accounts linked to the MAGA movement and Israel reached even larger audiences.
