Following a meeting with the leaders of France\u2019s political parties, he announced that the government is preparing a response and strengthening the protection of critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Key points at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Macron has warned of an intensifying Russian hybrid threat.<\/li>\n<li>France is preparing further protective measures.<\/li>\n<li>Particular attention will be paid to critical infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li>These include the risks of sabotage, drones and cyber-attacks.<\/li>\n<li>State and local authorities are involved in the preparations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"1rvay17\" data-start=\"799\" data-end=\"842\">Macron has stated that the threats have intensified sharply<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"993\">Macron made a statement on 18 September following a meeting in Paris with the leaders of political parties, which focused on the international situation and its implications for France. According to him, <strong data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1105\">\u00abThe \u00bbRussian hybrid threat\u2019 to Europeans and France has become more serious in recent weeks<\/strong>. The French President has promised a response to these risks.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1514\">The day before, Macron also convened the Defence and National Security Council in response to the rise in the number of hybrid incidents in Europe, which European states attribute to Russia. Among the threats cited in France and other countries are drones, cyber-attacks, acts of sabotage and influence operations.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"191yq27\" data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1570\">France is drawing up a plan to protect critical infrastructure<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1830\">According to <strong><em>Le Monde<\/em><\/strong>, Macron instructed that preparations be made <strong data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1699\">a plan to protect critical French infrastructure from hybrid attacks<\/strong>. These are facilities where any disruption to their operations could have serious consequences for national security.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1832\" data-end=\"1963\">French Minister of the Interior <strong>Laurent N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/strong> He stated that all the necessary government departments and local authorities would be involved in the preparations. The aim, he said, is to ensure that France is ready to respond promptly to new types of threats.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"1k3it21\" data-start=\"2109\" data-end=\"2153\">Drones are becoming a problem in their own right for Europe<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2155\" data-end=\"2326\">French officials have recently drawn attention on several occasions to the increase in the number of suspicious drone flights near military and defence-related industrial sites. The French authorities have stated that the number of unauthorised drone flights near military and strategic sites has risen significantly, whilst the risk of attacks on defence, technology, energy and communications infrastructure is increasing.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2603\" data-end=\"2898\">Several European countries have also reported incidents involving drones in recent weeks. The French authorities view such cases as part of a wider problem of hybrid threats, although Russia\u2019s responsibility for each individual incident must be established separately.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"h4ye56\" data-start=\"2900\" data-end=\"2952\">A particular risk is cyberattacks on strategic facilities<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2954\" data-end=\"3013\">Another key area of threat remains <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/science-tech\/kimsuky-local-ai-cyberattack-tools\/\">cyberattacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3015\" data-end=\"3354\">French cybersecurity specialists are warning of attempts to infiltrate the information systems of energy and other critical infrastructure organisations. Experts believe that some of these operations may be aimed at gaining access to systems in advance, which could then be exploited during a future crisis.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3356\" data-end=\"3549\">French security services had previously also linked large-scale cyber-espionage campaigns to Russian organisations and warned of an increased risk of sabotage.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"jqemrj\" data-start=\"3551\" data-end=\"3610\">France is stepping up its defences against the backdrop of Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3612\" data-end=\"3771\">Paris is already increasing its defence spending and is investing separately in <strong data-start=\"3669\" data-end=\"3770\">anti-drone systems, air defence, cyber defence, electronic warfare and early warning systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3773\" data-end=\"3999\">In July, Macron announced an additional \u20ac36 billion in defence spending by 2030, citing the fight against drones, the strengthening of air defences and cyber capabilities as key priorities.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4001\" data-end=\"4179\">France, along with Germany, also officially cites the rise in hybrid threats as one of the reasons for expanding European defence cooperation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4181\" data-end=\"4473\">Macron\u2019s latest statement therefore suggests that Paris no longer regards hybrid operations merely as isolated incidents, but as <strong data-start=\"4300\" data-end=\"4432\">a systemic security threat for which the armed forces, the security services, the civil authorities and critical infrastructure operators must prepare<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0424\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0446\u0456\u0457
