A fake government site invites the French to “get involved in Ukraine”, warns the Ministry of the Armed Forces. The site, inaccessible late Thursday morning, invited volunteers to leave their contact details.

It bears the mark of a device roused by Russian or pro-Russian interests, a senior French official told AFP. The French organization fighting against foreign digital interference, Viginum, was contributing to the investigation, the office of the minister, Sébastien Lecornu, said.
