France has taken a firm stance against Russian hybrid warfare, summoning the chargé d’affaires at the Russian embassy in Paris on Friday, July 17. The move comes after France’s General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI) attributed a large-scale cyberespionage campaign to Russian domestic intelligence.
This cyberattack is part of a broader pattern of hostile actions, including acts of sabotage and unauthorized drone flyovers over French territory. The foreign minister’s summons signals a serious escalation in diplomatic tensions between the two nations.
In response to the ongoing threats, French authorities are raising their voice against what they describe as a hybrid war waged by Moscow. The DGSI has been at the forefront of identifying and countering these operations.
The development has underscored the worsening relations between France and Russia, with further measures expected as the situation evolves.
