French President Emmanuel Macron warned that Russian hybrid attacks against Europe and France have intensified. Speaking at a news conference at the Elysee Palace, he said the government has been tasked with preparing a plan to protect critical infrastructure and defence industry sites from drone and cyberattacks. He cited recent incidents, including a drone attack on Leipzig airport in Germany, and noted that the intent is to intimidate Europeans and undermine support for Ukraine. Macron also announced that France will convene a G7 meeting on energy issues in the coming weeks to address fuel prices and consider releasing strategic reserves.
