Overview

  • EU leaders in Copenhagen are considering a cross‑border counter‑UAV network after a week of unidentified drones disrupted Danish airports and activity near military sites.
  • Denmark has banned civilian drone flights through Oct. 3, installed special radar at Copenhagen Airport, and received aircraft, ships and air‑defense support from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the U.K.
  • Finland confirmed it is sending a UAV countermeasures contingent and Border Guard capabilities, and Ukraine has dispatched a team to share battlefield counter‑drone expertise.
  • French authorities are investigating the tanker Pushpa/Boracay, which media link to Russia’s shadow fleet; President Emmanuel Macron cited “very serious” offenses but no public evidence ties the ship to the drone flights.
  • Leaders are also debating the use of frozen Russian assets to finance a major loan to Ukraine, while Russia denies involvement in the drone incidents and criticizes the proposed defense project.
