Politico published an article titled “How Russia Sabotaged the French Election.” Based on the article, the title is not appropriate – the author of the article writes that French authorities “learned lessons from the US election” and paid special attention to cybersecurity. However, the author argues that there was definitely “Russian influence” in the French election.

"Common history ensures that Moscow has allies across the political spectrum in France, from the right, Communists to the left, whose business interests and conservative values ​​coincide with the Kremlin's," the article says.
