Europe tries to look for its site in the drone war. Spurred by the last incidents with Russian aircraft notman in the countries of the eastern flank and with the focus increasingly in reinforcing its defense, the European Union seeks the formula for and its essential infrastructure before the threat of the Kremlin. At a summit in Copenhagen, under large security measures after several serious incidents with these devices, EU leaders try to shape the idea of erecting a “drone wall.”
The proposal, which has been promoted for months by the Eastern countries and has now also embraced the European Commission, suppose another turn of the community club towards the eastern flank, which live in the front line the threat of their voracious Russian neighbor and those who claim to the countries of the western and southern more understanding.
Europe lives one of the hottest moments with Russia since the Cold War, after the increase in acts of sabotage, piracy and confrontation of Kremlin. And the European summit on Wednesday, which is celebrated in the Palace of Christiansborg, headquarters of the Danish government and Parliament and which is also the main scenario of the award -winning Danish political series The castleemanates echoes of action, spy film, war.
Language is increasingly warlike. Russia has warned the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, is fighting a “hybrid war” against Europe. “I want us to rearm ourselves, we acquire more capabilities, we innovate more. But we must be very transparent and frank: it is a hybrid war, you cannot defend all the activities,” he added upon his arrival at the summit.
The EU, said French president Emmanuel Macron, faces “hybrid threats in the field of confrontation.”
In this context, the EU tries to delve into formulas to strengthen their safety and defense. One of them that is still too vague for some: it has not yet been devised what it will consist of, how much it will cost and, above all, who will pay it.
“Something to say about drones and walls is that we must remember that the borders of the Alliance are very wide,” said the Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni. “If we make the mistake of looking alone east and forgetting the southern flank, we run the risk of not being effective,” said ultraconservative policy.
