"she said that the situation in Europe reminded her of that in the interwar period in the 20th century, as the continent faces the threats arising from the real war in Ukraine, and the new, broader hybrid war waged against it. The idea of a hybrid war is to threaten us, to divide us, to destabilise us. To use drones one day, cyber attacks the next day, sabotage on the third day. So this will not end only by [boosting] capabilities, she told FT."
"The Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen warned that the recent drone sightings in Danish airspace warning are only the beginning; it will get worse and it will get more serious. In two major interviews, with the Danish newspaper Berlingske () and with the Financial Times (), Frederiksen urged Europe to discuss more deeply what the new security situation means for the continent and how it should respond to counter the threat."
Mette Frederiksen warned recent drone sightings in Danish airspace are only the beginning and the situation will get worse. She urged Europe to examine the new security environment and decide how to respond. She likened the situation to the interwar period as Europe faces threats from the war in Ukraine and a broader hybrid war. She described hybrid tactics as using drones one day, cyber attacks the next, and sabotage thereafter, and said boosting capabilities alone will not end it.
