French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday accused Russia of cyberattacks that he said constituted an "aggression against our country."
Speaking at a news conference in Paris, Macron said cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns by the Kremlin showed that "Vladimir Putin's Russia has become a systematic actor of destabilisation in the world".
Macron also demanded an explanation from Russia following US reports that Moscow was planning to launch a nuclear weapon into space.
"Russia must give an explanation without delay," Macron told journalists in Paris after US media cited unnamed officials saying Moscow was developing a space-based nuclear weapon, possibly to knock out Western satellites.
