Overview

• Germany, France and Sweden are sending troops, radar and anti-drone systems, and NATO has positioned the German frigate Hamburg, following repeated detections that briefly shut Danish airports and triggered a temporary civilian drone ban.
• Sweden’s prime minister said Poland’s early‑September incursions were confirmed Russian and that everything points to Russia in Denmark and Norway, while Moscow denies responsibility and warns of a decisive response to any aggression.
• Danish authorities are investigating reports that Russian‑linked vessels, including tankers tied to a so‑called ghost fleet, operated near Copenhagen during the September 22 disruption, though officials have not presented definitive proof.
• EU leaders will convene in Copenhagen this week to discuss funding and industrial frameworks for a cross‑border ‘drone wall’, as Ukraine urges a joint European air‑defense shield and offers training and production support.
• Separately from the European overflights, Ukrainian officials reported a Russian drone strike that killed a family of four in Sumy region, while Russia said it intercepted 81 Ukrainian drones overnight.
