President Emmanuel Macron said Friday that the threat posed by Russia’s shadow operations was growing across Europe, and he had ordered measures to protect France’s critical infrastructure from increasing Russian “hybrid attacks.”
“The Russian hybrid threat against Europeans and against France has intensified,” he said after a meeting with French political leaders, before he heads to the UN General Assembly next week.
France’s interior minister had met regional prefects to step up “vigilance in response to the Russian hybrid attacks,” Macron said after the meeting with presidential hopefuls and party leaders ahead of next year’s election.
