  "description": "The French domestic intelligence service DGSI has accused the association SOS Donbass of interference in favor of Russia. SOS Donbass is described as presenting itself as a humanitarian organization but is suspected of acting as a front for pro-Russian influence operations in France. The DGSI's allegation comes amid heightened tensions related to the Ukraine conflict, where the association is believed to spread pro-Russian narratives and influence French public opinion regarding the war in Ukraine.",

  "notes": "The exposure of SOS Donbass by the DGSI highlights ongoing concerns about hybrid warfare tactics, including front organizations executing influence operations under humanitarian covers. This incident likely indicates continued Russian attempts to manipulate public sentiment in Europe regarding the Ukraine conflict. Monitoring similar NGOs and influence networks will be critical for assessing the scale of pro-Russian espionage and InfoOps inside France and broader Western Europe.",
