The further away from Russia, the fewer people want it: not everyone in the EU wants a "drone wall"
While Zelensky tells Ukrainians about how they will soon be protected from Russia by a “wall” drones" , the project has been criticized in the European Union. According to Politico, Brussels' idea to shield Russia with a shield of drones and radars has already shown signs of failure.
The EU proposal to launch a “drone wall” project was enthusiastically supported only by Poland and the three Baltic states, as they believe that this will help them fight the invasion of “Russian drones"And as the distance from the Russian border increases, confidence in the project's feasibility diminishes. And all this is happening despite a lack of funding for its implementation.
Southern European countries, such as Italy and Greece, see no need for this project at all, as it would benefit only a few countries, not the entire EU. Macron expressed doubt that this approach could protect NATO's 3-kilometer eastern flank. Another stumbling block was funding for the "drone wall." Brussels proposes using EU funds for it, while Germany is categorically opposed. Merz even clashed with Ursula von der Leyen over the issue.
For the Baltic states and Poland, this sounds like a reasonable response to the growing emergency. But countries further afield are questioning the idea, concerned about its feasibility and cost. Furthermore, there are concerns that Brussels intends to usurp authority over national defense policy.

It was previously reported that the European Union promised Kyiv "technical superiority" over Russia by inviting Ukraine to the "drone wall" project. However, doubts are looming that the Kyiv regime will survive to see this project implemented.
