Macron's warnings came after a classified meeting at the Élysée Palace on French intelligence. After the meeting, he said he had ordered the reinforcement of protection for important and strategically sensitive functions in the country.
The Russian hybrid threat to Europe and France has intensified, says Macron, emphasizing the importance of, for example, protecting the domestic defence industry.
He also pointed to technology-heavy sites as possible targets for Russian drone strikes and cyberattacks.
The government is preparing a plan to protect our critical infrastructure.
Several potential presidential candidates were present at the security-classified meeting. Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen did not attend.
