Let's face it, most of Europe is at war with Russia. Modern warfare is not about boots on the ground. Like it or not, we are at war with Russia.

Microsoft say that Russia is trying to disrupt the 2024 Paris Olympics. Note that some 'coffins' of French soldiers posted in Ukraine have already turned up.
Without looking at the evidence, I believe this. It's in the Wall Street Journal, but behind a paywall if anyone is interested.

Apologies - you are quite right. I was trying to be brief and conflated the two things.France: Russia link suspected in Eiffel Tower coffin mystery
Officials believe Moscow could be behind a stunt in which coffins filled with plaster were left near the Eiffel Tower.www.bbc.co.uk
Report on BBC suggests more to do with warning about dead French soldiers if France sent them to Ukraine.
1. Microsoft warning of Russia liable to disrupt the olympics
2. Empty coffins found in Paris as a warning if French soldiers sent to Ukraine.
I've no reason to suggest the two are linked except that Russia is in the frame for both.

I think he can see as many of us can that Russia has to be be stopped in Ukraine. If they are allowed to win there they won't stop and then all Europe is in danger
Yes, I think that's it
. Macron is taking a very vocal leadership role in Europe now
- until a couple of months ago he was pretty quiet.They’d all to well to listen to Kaja Kallas of Estonia. Europe’s policy of appeasing Russia’s psychotic Tsar clearly hasn’t worked.
He is in his last permitted term of Presidency ( although he could in theory run again in 2032 ), and is in office until 2027 so he's got a pretty free hand to take a firm position if he wants.
that makes sense
