"Ukraine's president said the Kremlin was deliberately checking Europe's capacity to protect its skies, after drone sightings in Denmark, Poland and Romania and the violation of Estonian airspace by Russian fighter jets. More drones were spotted on Friday night above a Danish military base, and over a Norwegian base on Saturday. Zelenskyy suggested EU governments were struggling to deal with this new and dangerous threat."
"Zelenskyy said representatives from several unnamed countries would travel to Ukraine to receive practical training in how to repel Russian aerial attacks. We are ready to share our experience, he added. Earlier this month, Ukraine spotted 92 drones flying towards Poland in a choreographed way. It intercepted most of them. Nineteen crossed into Polish territory, where the Poles shot four down. I am not comparing our forces. We are at war and they [Poland] are not, he said."
Russia appears to be testing European air defenses through coordinated drone incursions and fighter-jet airspace violations across Denmark, Poland, Romania and Estonia. Large drone swarms were detected, including an incident when 92 drones flew toward Poland; Ukraine intercepted most while 19 entered Polish territory and Poland shot down four. Drones were also sighted over Danish and Norwegian military bases. Several countries will send representatives to Ukraine for practical training on repelling aerial attacks and to receive operational experience. The US president expressed belief that Ukraine could reclaim territory lost since 2022 with support from Europe and NATO.
