SOCHI, Russia, Oct 2 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin joked on Thursday that he would not fly drones over Denmark any more, referring to incidents last week that forced the closure of Danish airports. Russia has denied responsibility for the incidents, which have prompted European countries to discuss plans for a "drone wall". Separately, Poland and its NATO allies shot down Russian drones in Polish airspace last month. Putin said the "hysteria" about Russian drones over Europe was contrived to distract from problems in the West.
