Hand of Moscow? The men jailed for vandalism in French hybrid warfare case

In a trial that unfolded like a spy novel, three Bulgarian men were found guilty of aiding Russia's hybrid warfare campaign against France. Their crime? Leaving red handprints on a Holocaust memorial and other symbolic attacks, which were amplified by Russian-linked accounts on social media. Despite their claims of being ordinary people drawn in for personal reasons, they were sentenced to prison terms. France's concern lies not just in these individuals, but in the broader implications of hybrid warfare, where big countries can exploit small-time criminals or disaffected individuals for their own agendas.
