France said today it is being targeted by Russia in the information sphere because of its support for Ukraine, Foreign Ministry spokesman Pascal Confavreux told Anadolu Broadcasting.

“Russia is attacking Ukraine first and then France,” Confavreux told Radio Classique.

Speaking more broadly about Europe, Confavreux said the continent is “under attack” from both the east and the west. west.

He attributed some of this pressure to the European Union’s global appeal, citing economic and social indicators such as lower poverty rates and higher life expectancy compared to other regions.

“This attractiveness should not be underestimated, nor the fact that we are being targeted,” he said.

According to Confavreux, Europe’s diplomatic stances, particularly its support for Ukraine, have also contributed to the pressure.

France is “probably” a secondary target of Russia, especially in the information field, because of its stance in support of Kiev, he added.

The war between Russia and Ukraine has been ongoing since 2022, where thousands of civilians have been killed.
