European nations have recently faced multiple intrusions by unmanned aircraft as well as Russian fighter planes

European Union leaders discussed plans on Wednesday to bolster the bloc’s eastern defences against Russian drones but some said the focus should be broader, as they met in Copenhagen days after airspace intrusions by unmanned aircraft rattled Denmark.

European authorities have accused Russia of brazen violations of the region’s airspace, including with recent incursions by drones over Poland and fighter planes over Estonia.

Denmark has stopped short of saying who it believes is responsible for the incidents in its airspace last week, which disrupted air traffic at multiple airports, but Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has suggested it could be Moscow.
