What happened
The Kremlin is reportedly testing NATO's resilience through escalating hybrid attacks, sabotage, and espionage. Donald Tusk warned Western allies that the Kremlin might launch drone or missile strikes on NATO territory, claiming they were accidental. In response, Emmanuel Macron ordered his government to prepare defense measures to protect France's critical infrastructure against potential hybrid attacks.
