Russian hybrid warfare: France summons diplomat after vast cyberespionage campaign
On July 17, 2026, France's Foreign Ministry summoned the chargé d'affaires of the Russian Embassy in Paris. This move followed France's domestic intelligence agency, the DGSI (General Directorate of Internal Security), attributing a vast cyberespionage campaign targeting France to Russia's domestic intelligence service. Russia's hybrid warfare against France extends beyond cyberespionage and includes acts of sabotage and drone overflights, according to Le Monde.
