In a social media post, its embassy in Copenhagen called them \u201ca staged provocation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drone flights began just days after Denmark announced it would\u00a0acquire long-range precision weapons\u00a0for the first time, as Russia would pose a threat \u201cfor years to come\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defence ministers from about 10 European Union countries agreed on Friday\u00a0to make a so-called \u201cdrone wall\u201d\u00a0a priority for the bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius said Europe needs to learn from Ukraine and swiftly build anti-drone defences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to move fast,\u201d Kubilius told AFP news agency in an interview. \u201cAnd we need to move, taking all the lessons from Ukraine and making this drone wall together with Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copenhagen will host an EU summit gathering heads of government on Wednesday and Thursday.
