Overview
- Macron ordered a government plan that charges the interior minister with protecting France’s defence‑industrial technology sites from drone attacks and cyber intrusions.
- He said Russia’s use of cross‑domain tactics has risen and cited recent incidents including a drone strike on a Kyiv–Warsaw train corridor, an attempted attack in Leipzig, a missile near a Danish frigate, and airspace incursions.
- European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced she will develop an EU security strategy meant to complement NATO consultations under Article 4.
- Poland’s prime minister Donald Tusk has publicly warned, citing intelligence, that Russia is planning hybrid attacks against countries that support Ukraine and allied warnings are driving policy shifts.
