Denmark prepares for a Russian 'hybrid war' after repeated drone spottings
""I live very near the airport, so every night these helicopters and stuff are going around and around," she said, making a whirring sound. "I really need to sleep.""
"Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says a "hybrid war" in Europe is underway, describing it as "the most difficult and dangerous situation since the end of the Second World War.""
""There is only one country willing to threaten us and it is Russia, and therefore we need a very strong answer back.""
"On Friday, the Danish Defence Intelligence Service said Russia is putting pressure on Denmark with "hybrid warfare," which the agency defined as a combination of political, economic, information and military means "to undermine a state while remaining below the threshold of armed conflict.""
Unidentified drones have been entering Copenhagen's airspace at night, disturbing residents and causing sleep loss. Danish officials characterize the incursions as part of a broader "hybrid war" employing political, economic, information and military measures to undermine states while avoiding open armed conflict. The government has not officially assigned responsibility for the flights, but the prime minister identified Russia as the only likely threat and called for a strong response. The Danish Defence Intelligence Service warned of Russian pressure. NATO allies deployed military, law enforcement and technical resources to protect high-level meetings and secure Danish airspace. Denmark is on high alert amid fears the conflict could expand beyond Ukraine.
