🇫🇷🇷🇺 Macron pulled France’s party leaders into the defense room and said: Russia’s war is here.

He pointed to recent sabotage across Europe: cut Dutch rail lines, a derailed train in Normandy that injured 44, simultaneous fires near a French explosives plant, and a drone targeting a German cargo plane.

Macron still won’t name Moscow publicly, NATO’s east points fingers, but Paris keeps attribution in the vault.

The briefing is also political.

Macron wants a security narrative that survives 2027 by forcing rivals to sit through the same slides.

Moscow’s strategy is cheap: scare the rear, split parties, and frame Ukraine support as a threat to French civilians.

Macron insists intimidation will yield more aid, not less. Denmark converted a flare incident into cash for Kyiv, and Poland is raising Article 5.

France is trying to appear calm and resolute, but that balance only holds if the next attack gets a name.
