Macron warns Russian hybrid attacks intensifying in Europe

# French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday said Russian hybrid attacks against Europe and France have intensified, and promised a response. He was speaking after meeting political party leaders in Paris and warned that critical infrastructure, including defence industry sites, needed greater protection from drone and cyberattacks. Macron said France would not leave the recent incidents unanswered. He accused Moscow of trying to intimidate Europeans and weaken support for Ukraine. France’s interior minister said all relevant government services and local authorities would be mobilised to prepare for the growing threat.
