    At the same time, France has been among many European countries
    impacted by a wave of attacks that have been linked by officials to
    Russia. They have included arson and acts of sabotage against
    infrastructure. Russia has not responded to the allegations.

    Earlier this week, French authorities detained a Russian citizen in
    Paris, accusing him of preparing destabilizing events during the
    Olympics. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia did not have
    any information on the arrest.

    Maybe not relevant

    Russia has stepped up acts of sabotage in Europe, hoping to disrupt
    the flow of materiel to Ukraine.

    Far-left extremists likely behind France rail sabotage, interior
    minister says

    Far-left extremists were likely behind last week's arson attacks on
    France's high-speed train network, heavily disrupting travel just
    hours before the Olympic Games opening ceremony, French Interior
    Minister G?rald Darmanin said Monday. All trains are now back up and
    running after teams worked around the clock over the weekend to fix
    the damage
