ADVERTISEMENTEU leaders gathered in Copenhagen on Wednesday gave "broad support" to proposals to ramp up the development of drone and anti-drone technology and to use immobilised Russian assets to loan money to Ukraine.
These include a European drone wall, an Eastern Flank Watch, an Air Defence Shield and a Defence Space Shield.
Mette Frederiksen, the Danish prime minister who hosted her European counterparts, also said there was "broad support" for the Commission's proposals.
“We talk a lot about security guarantees to Ukraine, but, in fact, it's the other way around: Ukraine is today Europe's security guarantee.
Our support to Ukraine is a direct investment in our own security,” Frederiksen said.
