Oslo, Oct 2 (NationPress) During an informal gathering in Copenhagen, leaders of the European Union (EU) engaged in discussions concerning the development of a comprehensive EU-wide 'drone wall' and ongoing assistance for Ukraine, as stated during a late-evening press briefing.

On Wednesday (local time), European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen indicated that the Commission had received approval to advance efforts on the 'drone wall' and a roadmap for rearmament.

She elaborated that the 'drone wall' is an anti-drone system aimed at 'swiftly detecting, intercepting, and if necessary, neutralising drones.'

European Council President Antonio Costa confirmed that leaders had also deliberated on sustained support for Ukraine, noting that discussions would proceed at the upcoming European Council meeting in October, as reported by Xinhua news agency.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen remarked that financial support for Kiev is an investment in the EU's security.

The informal nature of the meeting meant that no binding resolutions were anticipated; however, EU institutions and national governments indicated that work would persist on defence strategies and support for Ukraine leading up to the October summit.

The European leaders remained in Copenhagen for the European Political Community (EPC) summit scheduled for Thursday.

In the lead-up to the summits, suspected drone activities caused flight disruptions at airports and led to increased security protocols.

Additionally, earlier on Wednesday, Ukraine secured a €4 billion (approximately $4.7 billion) loan from the European Union, which was sourced from frozen Russian assets, as reported by the country's Ministry of Finance.

This funding was allocated to Ukraine's state budget under the Group of Seven's Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration for Ukraine initiative, the ministry confirmed.

The finances will be directed towards strengthening Ukraine's social sector, defence needs, and recovery undertakings, it added.

On that same day, the Kremlin cautioned European leaders that Russia would take action against any individual or nation involved in the appropriation of its assets, warning that such actions would have repercussions for European investments.

"We are addressing plans for the unlawful seizure of Russian property. In Russian, we refer to that simply as theft," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
