Seems likely. Any Islamist/Leftist/Eco-fascist group would have been loudly claiming responsibility by now. Causing mayhem while leaving the cause a troubling mystery is the Russian M.O. (as is flatly denying it should they be accused, even in the face of damning evidence).
Obviously it’s a blow for the French who want to be seen to be putting on a flawless Games, but the upside is that it might, just possibly, help make Western European governments take the final leap towards taking the Russian threat seriously. There is still too much tiptoeing around the fringes and hoping it’ll all somehow go away, but the reality is that the more the Russian army is degraded in Ukraine the more the Russian government will focus on asymmetric warfare as a means of trying to maintain its influence.
