Are these real steps toward a collective EU defense strategy? | DW News

European Union leaders are meeting in Copenhagen for informal talks on how to better defend Europe. The heads of state and government of EU member nations emphasized the urgency of countering "hybrid attacks" by Russia. This comes after a series of incursions into European airspace and several drone sightings at EU airports, which are suspected to have been instigated and controlled by Moscow. Proposals on the table include establishing a joint drone defense system and increasing aid to Ukraine to help it defend itself against Russia’s invasion.
