The Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, has given a grim warning to European countries and urges them to arm themselves while Russia continues his “hybrid war” against the continent. In a top of leaders of the European Union in Copenhagen, Frederiksen emphasized the escalating threat of Russia.
“I hope that everyone now acknowledges that there is a hybrid war and one day it is Poland, the other day it is Denmark, and next week it will probably be somewhere else that we see sabotage or see drones flying,” she said reporters. This is after not -geidified drones a week ago forced the closure of an airport, which caused considerable disruptions.
In response to this growing threat, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK all sent aircraft, ships and air defense systems to Denmark prior to the conversations. The armed forces of Ukraine have also sent a mission to the Nordic country for joint exercises and shared their expertise on the fight against Russian drones. In the meantime, warship and soldiers have been deployed in the NATO country after drone chaos.
Although Danish authorities have not identified those who are assumed to be responsible, Frederiksen was clear in her suspicions: “There is only one country that is willing to threaten us and it is Russia and that is why we need a very strong answer back.”
She further insisted on Europe to increase its military capacities: “I want us to rise. I want us to buy more options. I want us to innovate more, for example on drones,” she said. “When I look at Europe today, I think we are in the most difficult and dangerous situation since the end of the Second World War.” The express us.
Russia is the center of the top of Wednesday, with discussions that are expected to prepare Europe for potential Russian aggression by 2030, in particular because the United States is moving its safety focus to Asia and other regions.
Ukraine also plays prominently on the agenda, with the Ukrainian President Volodyymyr Zenskyy planned to address EU leaders via Videolink.

Leaders and intelligence services suspect that Russia could launch elsewhere in Europe within the next 3 to 5 years, whereby President Vladimir Putin wants to test NATO in the midst of uncertainty about the dedication of US President Donald Trump to the organization.
On September 10, when several Russian drones violated Poland airspace, NATO aircraft were sent to intercept and shoot some devices. This meant the first direct confrontation between NATO and Moscow since Russia initiated his war against Ukraine on 24 February 2022.
The incident sent shock waves throughout Europe and led questions about the willingness of the Alliance against Russia. Days later, the NATO Jets accompanied three Russian war aircraft from the airspace of Estonia.
