Danish PM warns EU of Russian hybrid war, citing drone attacks, urging stronger defense and unity.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned EU leaders at a Copenhagen summit that Russia is waging a hybrid war against Europe, citing recent drone incursions at Danish airports and military sites as evidence. She urged increased rearmament, defense innovation, and unity, calling the situation the most dangerous since World War II. The incidents prompted military support from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and Ukraine, while discussions focused on countering potential Russian aggression by 2030 amid U.S. strategic shifts and uncertainty over NATO commitments. Ukraine’s EU aspirations and use of frozen Russian assets were also key topics, with President Zelenskyy addressing the summit via video.
