Greenland — Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian president’s special representative for economic cooperation with foreign countries, said that recent political indicators and moves coming from Washington suggest that the United States has already settled its position regarding the island of Greenland. This comes amid growing American interest in the region, which holds increasing strategic importance.
The Russian envoy explained that U.S. rhetoric is no longer limited to media statements. It has begun to reflect a well-considered practical approach linked to geopolitical and security calculations. This is especially in light of intensifying international competition in the Arctic and Greenland’s military, economic weight, and its vital, influential location.
He noted that these moves have raised concerns among a number of international parties. Foremost among them are Russia and several European countries. This is due to the potential changes they could bring to the balance of influence in the region. He emphasized that Moscow is closely monitoring the developments and is calling for respect for international law, state sovereignty, and the rejection of imposing faits accomplis.
This statement comes at a time when speculation about Greenland’s future is increasing. This occurs amid divergent positions among major powers. Thus, raising the prospect of opening a new chapter of geopolitical conflict in one of the world’s most sensitive regions.
