French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez stated on BFMTV that the Russian threat to Europe is real and is confirmed by specific documented cases. He listed three types of hybrid actions: drone flights near European airports (including over the past weekend), acts of sabotage in various European countries, and cyberattacks. Nuñez emphasized that this is not a PR stunt but a threat recognized by most European intelligence services.

Macron instructed the government to prepare a plan to protect critical infrastructure, including measures against drone and cyberattacks, with special attention to the defense industry and technology sector.
