EU leaders gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Wednesday to discuss stronger European defence after recent Russian drone incursions over Poland, Estonia, and Denmark. Ten EU countries support a new ‘drone wall’ plan to detect and stop drones quickly. Denmark has banned civilian drone flights and tightened security for the summit, with help from allies like Poland, the UK, and the US. Last week, drones disrupted Copenhagen airport and other Danish sites, but no injuries were reported. Danish and Swedish leaders suspect Russia, though no proof has been found. Ukraine is sending experts to Denmark for joint drone defence exercises. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned that airspace violations are increasing and Europe must do more for its security. The EU is also planning to boost defence spending and work more closely with NATO. Hungary’s leader, a Russian ally, opposes Ukraine’s bid to join the EU. The summit will continue on Thursday with more European leaders attending. (Updated 1 Oct 2025, 12:18 IST; source: link)
