Internal Kremlin documents reveal Russian involvement in operations targeting Jewish and Muslim communities in France to sow societal division, according to French intelligence.

On December 2, 2025, French intelligence services obtained internal Kremlin documents proving that the Russian presidential administration approved a plan targeting both Jewish and Muslim communities in France. The goal of these operations is to exacerbate social fractures by promoting hatred between these communities, portraying France as simultaneously antisemitic and Islamophobic. This strategy aims at societal destabilization through deliberate disinformation campaigns that fuel intercommunal tensions. The revelations were reported by Mediapart and attributed to French intelligence, demonstrating direct Kremlin involvement in hybrid warfare tactics on French soil.
