French journalist disputes claim Russia attacked Paris-area hospital

French journalist Dimitri de Kochko disputed an accusation against Russia over a cyberattack on Corbeil-Essonnes hospital.

The hospital is in a suburb of Paris, France, and serves an area de Kochko described as poor.

He said French politician and European Parliament member Raphael Glucksmann had accused Russia of attacking it.

De Kochko argued that the hospital had a limited budget and questioned why Russia would target it.

His comments reflect a dispute over who was responsible for the cyberattack; the account does not provide evidence establishing the attacker.

De Kochko also accused European media of spreading disinformation about Russia, but no supporting examples were given.

The account gives no information about an investigation or what authorities will do next.
