Russian resources are disseminating information that graffiti has appeared on the streets of Paris depicting Mirage fighter planes, which France promised to transfer to Ukraine, in the shape of a coffin and with the caption: “Mirages for Ukraine”. In their news, propagandists refer to one of the French publications that covered this incident.

The Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council reports that this is manipulation. Although such graffiti did appear on the streets of Paris, propagandists have glossed over the fact that a Russian network is behind a series of these and other similar graffiti. Although the French publication wrote about this.

Such manipulative materials of Russian propagandists are designed for both Russian and Western audiences. In the first case, propagandists are trying to show ordinary Russians that no one in the West supports Ukraine. In the second, propagandists seek to influence the position of the French in the context of supporting Ukraine. Previously, we refuted information that Ukraine was allegedly ridiculed in street graffiti in Israel.
