Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen commented on Ukraine’s proposal to assist Denmark in countering drones, describing such an initiative as “a bit strange” given that Ukraine is in a state of war with Russia. She made this statement after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Copenhagen, where the European Community summit was taking place.

Ukraine shares its experience in drone defense
Mette Frederiksen emphasized that during the discussions, special attention was paid to the use of drones. She noted that Ukraine is helping not only Denmark but all of Europe, and highlighted the need to strengthen cooperation in this area. According to the Prime Minister, modern hybrid warfare is based, among other things, on the use of drones, and Ukraine’s experience in this regard must be utilized to protect European countries.
“We discussed several issues, but particularly the question of drones. Ukraine is helping Europe and Denmark, and we intend to intensify our cooperation. Technologies are evolving so quickly. The foundation of hybrid warfare includes, among other things, drones… It is a bit strange that we have a country that is at war offering assistance to Denmark, as we are under a hybrid attack. We must use all the knowledge that Ukraine has accumulated to protect Europe,” said Mette Frederiksen.
Ukrainian mission in Denmark and the “Drone Wall” strategy
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced at the end of September that Ukrainian military personnel had begun operations in Denmark. The main goal of the mission is to share practical experience in drone defense with partners during joint exercises. According to the President, this experience will serve as a foundation for creating a new system to counter Russian and other drones in Europe.
In his statement, Zelensky added that Ukrainian specialists, technologies, and knowledge could become a key element in the large-scale project of the future European “Drone Wall,” which aims to ensure the security of the continent’s airspace.
In September 2025, several European countries, including Denmark, fell victim to drone attacks. The largest attack was recorded in Poland, when around 20 drones violated the country’s airspace on the night of September 10.
