Macron Orders Protection From Russian Drone Cyberattacks
French President Emmanuel Macron warned Friday about rising Russian hybrid attacks. He said Russia is targeting France and other European countries.
Macron spoke in Paris after meeting political party leaders and presidential hopefuls. He ordered new measures to protect France's critical infrastructure.
These measures also cover France's defense industry sites. The goal is to stop drone and cyberattacks from Russia.
Macron warned such attacks would not go unanswered. He said Russia wants to scare Europeans.
This pressure aims to weaken support for Ukraine. France's interior minister acted on September 17. He told regional officials to raise safety and alertness levels.
Klear Note — Hybrid warfare combines different tactics, including cyberattacks and drone operations. Critical infrastructure includes systems needed for daily life and national security.
