The Danish Armed Forces plan to send unarmed troops to Ukraine for short-term training courses to study the country's drone warfare tactics, Major General Peter Boysen, Denmark's commander-in-chief, told state broadcaster TV 2 on April 16.

Could Danes (or any other nationalities) technically not operate drones in Ukraine, but from Denmark? Would that be considered as being active in the war in the sense of sending armed forces to support Ukraine on the ground?

This is technically feasible. IRC the US uses satellite comms to control predator drones across the globe from their mainland. There are 2 issues that immediately come to mind:

  1. Latency - Depends on the quality of the link between pilot and end point transmitter, and the increased risks for jamming/hacking, and
  2. Would be an act of war prompting probable orc military retaliation (along the lines of "they're controlling drones from apartments in Moscow so now apartments are fair game?" logic).

How does one find out where a drone is being controlled from though?

the issue is keeping this secret over time will be hard, we see alot of leaks from russians its prudent to assume nato intelligence is also leaking in a similar way.

And given how Europe doesn't want to put the boots on the ground right now to stop this war of aggression, they won't do this.

Signals intelligence is a whole specialization, and if that isn't enough simple espionage will suffice. I'm not saying Russia will send a missile to the exact coords of someone controlling a drone from their home in Copenhagen. I'm saying simply the announcement that volunteers are engaging soldiers remotely from NATO cities might be considered 'proper' grounds for war which is why we haven't done so already (or if we have kept damn quiet for this reason).
