    Russian Dirty tricks
    France shuts down fake website recruiting 200,000 to fight in Ukraine

    French authorities have shut down a website falsely claiming to be recruiting French volunteers to fight in Ukraine.

    The website purported to be organising a recruitment drive to enlist 200,000 French citizens, AFP reported

    "The site is a fake government site and has been reposted by malicious accounts as part of a disinformation campaign," the French defence ministry said.

    Poland investigating Russian espionage

    Poland's security agency has searched a number of properties as part of an investigation into alleged Russian spying.

    The ABW said it carried out the searches along with other European security services, including the Czech Republic.

    A hub for Western military supplies to Ukraine, Poland has said it's become a major target of Russian spies.

    It accuses Moscow and its ally Belarus of trying to destabilise it.

    "Actions aimed at organising pro-Russian initiatives and media campaigns in EU countries have been documented," the ABW said.

    It specifically mentioned the website voice-of-europe.eu, saying it has published pro-Russian material.

    Searches were made in Warsaw and Tychy in western Poland on Tuesday, it added, without giving more specific details.
