French police are investigating potential Russian interference after five coffins draped with the French tricolour were placed at the Eiffel Tower, inscribed with "French soldiers in the Ukraine." Three men, including a Bulgarian, a German, and a Ukrainian, have been arrested in connection with the incident. The investigation is also exploring links to recent vandalism of a Holocaust memorial in Paris and possible coordination by the Russian FSB intelligence agency.
