COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Denmark looked set to join the European Union's defence policy after a referendum on Wednesday, an exit-poll showed, the latest shift among Nordic countries to deepen defence ties in a response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

       An exit-poll by public broadcaster DR published as polling stations closed showed 69% of voters were in favour of removing an opt-out to the EU's so-called Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP).

       Thirty-one percent of voters polled were opposed, according to DR.
