Speaking at a news conference at the Elysee Palace, Macron stated that he has ordered a special plan to protect key public services and defence industry sites from these dangers. He noted that France has faced Russian hybrid attacks over the past few weeks and warned that these actions will not go without a response. Other European leaders are also warning that Russia may be getting ready to launch attacks to test how strong their support for Ukraine is.
ExplainerWhy this matters
What Happened
French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Russia is stepping up hybrid attacks against France and Europe, prompting him to order new security plans for vital sites.
Why It Matters
Hybrid attacks mix cyber operations, disinformation, and sabotage to disrupt countries without starting open military conflict. For Europe, this poses a direct security threat that tests the unity and resolve of nations supporting Ukraine in the ongoing war.
What Happens Next
France will roll out increased security measures to shield its defence plants and critical infrastructure. Other European nations facing similar pressures are likely to review and strengthen their own domestic defences.
