Macron orders stronger protection of France's infrastructure against Russian hybrid threats

The order directs French institutions to strengthen security measures for facilities considered strategically important and potentially vulnerable to threats originating from Russia.

The decision comes amid a broader trend among European countries of increased attention to hybrid-type threats, including sabotage, cyberattacks, and other indirect actions that could target critical infrastructure such as energy networks, communication systems, and other strategically significant sites.
