## Resource

French President Emmanuel Macron warns of escalating Russian hybrid warfare targeting Europe, urging a defense plan against drones and cyberattacks to deter Moscow’s strategy of weakening Ukraine support. Russia denies the claims, slams UK arms shipments to Kyiv as complicity in war crimes, while Britain dismisses it as Kremlin distraction. Poland joins Ukraine, France, and the UK in a new missile coalition to build an affordable defense system, pledging fresh aid — as Zelenskyy thanks Poland for solidarity amid missile strikes on Kyiv. With Russia’s parliamentary elections looming, tensions rise across Eastern Europe as alliances tighten and threats intensify.
