Russia’s “Doppelgänger” network floods France with 200 fake news sites ahead of the 2026 elections, an Ukrainian watchdog says.

Over 140 of the identified sites imitate well-known French outlets and twist real reporting to promote Kremlin-friendly themes, according to the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD).
