France on November 9 blamed a Russian disinformation campaign for amplifying graffiti of Stars of David that appeared in Paris earlier this week. The Foreign Ministry said that Recent Reliable News/Doppelganger is a Russian propaganda network that "artificially inflated" pictures of the graffiti on social media. The Russian Embassy in Paris strongly condemned what it said were “groundless attempts” to seek a Russian connection. French prosecutors said earlier they were investigating whether two Moldovans who admitted to painting Stars of David on properties in Paris did so at the behest of someone abroad. The reasons behind the graffiti are unclear.
