EU faces calls to strengthen response after Denmark and Lithuania incidents
The European Union has accused Russia of reckless conduct involving a Danish frigate and a drone incident over Lithuania, prompting Danish analysts to urge a stronger Western response.
The European Union has accused Russia of recklessly firing flares at a Danish frigate, as a separate incident involving a drone shot down over Lithuania adds to security concerns across Europe.
The allegations were reported by France 24 International on Tuesday against the backdrop of the Ukraine–Russia war and heightened anxiety over the continent’s security.
The EU linked Russia to the Lithuanian drone incident, although the supplied report does not independently confirm Russian responsibility or provide details about when or how the drone was brought down.
Danish analysts are calling on NATO and the EU to strengthen their response to Russia. Their calls do not represent an announced policy decision by either organisation.
The incidents come after EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said reported Russian strikes affecting a Warsaw-bound train near Ukraine’s border with Poland were intended to deter Western support for Ukraine. She urged Kyiv’s backers to respond in the opposite way.
