In late October, in Paris and its suburbs of Saint-Ouen and Aubervilliers, the blue Stars of David were spray-painted on the walls of several residential and office buildings with Jewish residents. Earlier this week, France accused Russia of disinformation campaign and destabilization efforts, claiming that a Russian news agency has been involved in spreading the antisemitism-related scandal.
“The statements made yesterday by the French Foreign Ministry are completely outrageous. We believe that this kind of action is aimed at further worsening the already difficult Russia-France relations,” the ambassador said.
