"Denmark, in the midst of a security crisis following a drone incursion that forced the closure of six of its airports, is hosting two European summits on Wednesday and Thursday, which have now been reinforced in the face of the Kremlin's threats. To try to prevent further incidents in Europe, several countries, including France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, have sent military reinforcements, unprecedented at previous such events."
"Mette Frederiksen has gone further and pointed directly to Russia, which she said is the main country that poses a threat to European security. [Russian President Vladimir] Putin wants to divide us. I will do everything I can to ensure that he never succeeds, the Danish Prime Minister, one of the most vocal European opponents of the Russian autocrat, said in a message on social media."
Denmark is hosting two European summits while recovering from a drone incursion that forced closure of six airports and prompted a security crisis. Several countries including France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands have sent military reinforcements, radars, and anti-drone and anti-aircraft systems to Copenhagen, and NATO deployed the German frigate Hamburg. EU leaders will focus on European defense and sustaining support for Ukraine amid a surge in hybrid attacks from Moscow, including drones over Poland and Romania and fighter jets violating Estonian airspace. Officials investigate the drone incidents and point to a professional actor; the Danish prime minister identified Russia as the main security threat.
