Macron orders plan to protect France's critical infrastructure against 'Russian hybrid attacks'

French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Friday that he has ordered the government to implement measures to protect France's critical infrastructure and defense industry sites. The directive is a response to what Macron described as an intensification of Russian hybrid attacks against Europe in recent weeks.

The announcement was made in Paris following a meeting between Macron and various political party leaders to discuss recent international developments. The newly ordered plan aims to shield essential national assets from a growing range of escalating hybrid threats emanating from Moscow.
