The European Union is set to address recent Russian drone incursions during an informal meeting of the European Council in Copenhagen next week, as reported by the British newspaper The Guardian. The meeting will focus on the impact of these incursions and potential responses, according to the EU’s deputy chief spokesman, Olof Gill. The discussion is expected to include a detailed analysis of the incidents and their implications.
Leaders from member states will gather to assess the threat posed by the drone incursions and explore coordinated strategies to enhance security. The meeting comes amid heightened tensions following a series of attacks on critical infrastructure and military installations in various EU countries. Discussions may also include measures to bolster air defense capabilities and prevent future incursions, sources have indicated.
The timing of the meeting coincides with the EU summit, where leaders will address broader security and defense issues. The Guardian highlighted that the incursions have raised concerns about the effectiveness of current defensive measures and the need for a unified approach to counter such threats. The EU is under pressure to demonstrate a decisive response to the escalating situation.
