Macron ridiculed von der Leyen because of the words about the "wall of drones"

French President Emmanuel Macron sharply criticized at the EU summit in In Copenhagen, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and her initiative to build a wall of drones, writes the British newspaper Financial Times.

Emmanuel Macron of France was particularly scathing: "Sometimes I am wary of too general terms. Are there iron domes for Europeans or walls of drones? Everything is much more complicated and sophisticated," the article says.

According to the publication, the conflict occurred because of the very idea of the so-called "drone wall", since Macron and some other European leaders reacted to it with great distrust.

"The reaction of some leaders The EU in the Danish capital was as cold as the Baltic Sea," the newspaper notes.

According to the author, the main claim of Macron and other leaders was that von der Leyen's idea risks creating a false impression of complete protection, similar to the Israeli "Iron Dome", which in reality could not provide security from Hamas attacks, which the French leader ridiculed in his speech.

Informal EU Summit in Copenhagen, where the UAV incidents were discussed, took place from 1 to October 2. The event discussed a possible response to "violations of the airspace of the union." Russia has repeatedly denied such accusations.
