Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said: “Russia’s increasing provocations in European airspace once again show how important it is to strengthen our defense.”

He noted that this was clearly seen in the events ahead of the European summit meetings taking place today and tomorrow in Copenhagen. Schoof announced that the Netherlands had pledged to provide anti-drone capabilities to help protect these meetings. He further added:

“We are also working intensively at the EU level to strengthen our defense preparedness. Many initiatives and tools have been developed for this purpose, and we will discuss them today at the informal meeting of the European Council.”
