Denmark has no intention of invoking NATO's Article 4 following drone incursions near both civilian and military sites that led to the closure of air traffic in the country earlier this week, according to Denmark's foreign minister on Friday.
Article 4 of the NATO treaty states that member states will consult one another if any of them believes that their territory, political independence, or security is under threat.
"Article 4 has only been invoked nine times in NATO's entire history, with two recent instances concerning Poland and Estonia, so we have no grounds to do so," Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told reporters.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had linked the drone incident, which resulted in the closure of Copenhagen airport late on Monday, to suspected Russian drone activity across Europe. However, she provided no evidence for the claim, which was strongly denied by Moscow.
On Thursday, Denmark's foreign minister also announced that the country would contribute 2.7 billion Danish crowns ($422.43 million) to Ukraine, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards supporting Ukraine's defence industry.
