EU Leaders in Copenhagen Agree to Prioritize Defense Projects Against Russia's Threat
EU leaders gathered in Copenhagen for an informal summit, pressing for detailed priority defence projects to counter Russia's growing threat. The meeting, hosted by Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, was held under tight security following recent drone incidents. Meanwhile, football club AGF Aarhus faced a fine for homophobic chants by one of its fans.
Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission President, attended the summit and stressed the urgency to respond swiftly to hybrid attacks. She pledged solidarity with member states, including Denmark, whose airspace was recently violated. Leaders discussed and agreed to detail priority defence projects, including a 'drone wall' to counter Russia's threat.
The summit was held amidst mystery drone flights that disrupted Denmark last week. No culprit has been definitively named, but suspicions point at Russia. Prime Minister Frederiksen urged Europe to step up its response to Russia's 'hybrid war'.
