The Kremlin denied an allegation that it is waging a disinformation campaign against France, its president and the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The Microsoft Threat Analysis Center said on Sunday that"Russia is ramping up malign disinformation campaigns against France, French President Emmanuel Macron, the International Olympic Committee , and this summer's Olympic Games in Paris."
The MTAC said it had observed"old tactics blending with artificial intelligence in malign activity that may intensify as the 2024 Paris Opening Ceremony approaches." It said the operations had two principal aims, to"denigrate the reputation of the IOC" and to"create the expectation of violence breaking out in Paris at the Games."
The comments sent NATO's leadership and other members of the military alliance scrambling to deny that there were any plans to send ground troops into Ukraine, a move that would see Russia and NATO in direct conflict.Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Ukraine's losses are eight times higher than those of Russia during an interview with Chinese media.
