Zelensky to meet with EU leaders in summit

Copenhagen, Denmark — Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to join talks with leaders from across Europe in Copenhagen Thursday, as the EU seeks to bolster Kyiv’s fight against Russia in the face of dwindling US support.

Heads of state and governments from just under 50 countries will converge on a conference centre under tight security after mystery drone flights rattled Denmark.

Zelensky arrives looking to rally support from his main remaining backers as US President Donald Trump has turned off Washington’s taps on Kyiv.

Meanwhile European leaders are keen to work with Ukraine’s war-tested expertise as they seek to bolster their own defenses and build a “drone wall” to counter the menace from Moscow.

The drone incidents in Denmark and high-profile aerial incursions from Moscow in Estonia and Poland have heightened fears that Russia’s assault on Ukraine could spill over Europe’s borders.

“They are threatening us, and they are testing us, and they will not stop,” Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen warned after a first day of defense talks with leaders of the 27-nation European Union.
