France has actually concluded that there was no Russian trace in the protests.
The investigation, as announced by French authorities, started on December 8 and is ongoing. Social media accounts connected to Russia have been actively amplifying the protests, as reported by The Times and Bloomberg. No evidence given for the alleged French conclusions.
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
