00:01French President Emmanuel Macron has denied claims that the CIA had informed France of a possible Russian drone operation targeting
00:10southern Europe.
00:12It comes after Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported that the CIA had warned of such an attack against Spain, France
00:19or Italy, launched from ships in the Mediterranean.
00:30And the minister of the Italian defense has done the same thing. So I can say that no.
00:37However, yes, there is a situation that rises in tension, which is inquisitive for, of course, Ukraine, which is under
00:45the direct war of Russia since February 2022, and in fact, since 2014, and for us, Europeans,
00:52because these last weeks, particularly, the hostile acts a little everywhere in Europe have multiplied.
00:58Addressing Russia's ongoing and intensifying hybrid campaign against Europe, Macron referred to the drone attack on Leipzig Halle Airport early
01:07in August, which German authorities have attributed to Russia.
01:11Macron said France had not experienced a comparable attack so far, but warned that one remained possible.
