Zelenskyy: Ukraine sends mission to Denmark to share anti-drone expertise

“Our group of specialists has begun deploying a mission in Denmark to share Ukraine’s experience in countering drones. Our guys arrived to take part in the joint exercises with partners, which could become the foundation for a new system to counter Russian and any other drones,” Zelenskyy wrote on X.

The president stressed that Ukraine’s battlefield knowledge offers unique expertise for European security. 

“Ukraine’s experience is the most relevant in Europe today, and it is precisely our expertise, our specialists, and our technologies that can become a key element of future Europe’s Drone Wall – a large-scale project that will guarantee security in the skies,” he said.

Zelenskyy added that Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief had already reported on the team’s first update from Denmark. He said he had instructed the Commander-in-Chief, the Minister of Defense, and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council to “work swiftly with all European partners who are truly capable of deploying a system to counter drones.”

According to the president, the results of the mission in Denmark will shape a framework for wider cooperation with other European countries.

• Russian drones massively entered Poland on the night of September 9-10. This was the first such attack in modern Polish history.
• On September 19, three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets illegally entered Estonian airspace. Estonia’s government has called for consultations with NATO under Article 4. The alliance is set to convene the North Atlantic Council next week.
• NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that the Alliance was still determining whether Russia violated the airspace of Estonia and Poland deliberately.
