Macron Orders Protection Against Intensifying Russian Hybrid Threats in Europe
French President Emmanuel Macron has ordered his government to prepare plans protecting critical infrastructure and sensitive defence sites against intensifying Russian hybrid threats, including drone and cyberattacks. Macron warned these attacks aim to intimidate Europe and weaken support for Ukraine but affirmed France will not be deterred. He cited recent incidents like the drone attack on Leipzig airport and emphasized the need for coordinated responses amid rising energy costs linked to global conflicts. NATO maintains no imminent conventional attack threat despite heightened vigilance across Europe.
