Macron Orders Plan to Protect France's Critical Infrastructure Against 'Russian Hybrid Attacks'

Macron said France will bolster critical infrastructure and defense sites after warning that Russian hybrid attacks have intensified.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron warned on Friday that Russian hybrid threats against France and Europe have "intensified," calling on the government to prepare a plan protecting critical infrastructure.
  • Macron stated the intimidation aims to weaken efforts supporting Ukraine, citing recent drone strikes in Leipzig, Germany, and warnings from Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk about Nato's eastern flank.
  • Tasked with protecting "most sensitive" defense industry and technology sites, the government will also call a meeting with the European Commission to discuss gas stocks and energy cooperation.
  • The upcoming energy meeting provides an opportunity to consider "possible release or unlocking of strategic reserves" in coming weeks while strengthening cooperation and avoiding unnecessary tensions between partners.
  • Party leaders discussed the security impacts of ongoing wars in the Middle East and Ukraine during a meeting at the Elysee Palace, reflecting broader concerns about geopolitical stability.
