## Resource

France is stepping up its defenses as President Macron warns of escalating Russian hybrid warfare, vowing a strong response to any attack on French soil. Intelligence chiefs briefed top officials—including presidential hopefuls—on rising threats like drone incursions and cyberattacks designed to destabilize without triggering open war. Macron frames these “shadow operations” as direct challenges to European security, especially as France remains committed to Ukraine. New measures target critical infrastructure in defense and tech sectors, while regional authorities are ordered to heighten vigilance nationwide. He insists France won’t back down—and that Russian aggression will only harden their resolve to support Kyiv. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
