Greenland not ‘a natural part’ of Denmark, says Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

Lavrov said Russia monitors the geopolitical situation and called Greenland a colonial territory, highlighting tensions after U.S. plans to annex the island for security reasons.

  • On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said U.S. President Donald Trump's bid to take over Greenland heralds a deep crisis for NATO and questions alliance unity.
  • Lavrov said Denmark's control over Greenland is a vestige of the colonial past and that Trump's actions upended the Western rule-based global order.
  • The Kremlin said it is studying U.S. President Donald Trump's invitation to join the proposed Board of Peace and awaiting more details, while Sergey Lavrov cautiously approved the initiative and denied any Russian threat to Greenland.
  • Moscow said it would not accept such changes, will draw conclusions when the situation is settled, and signaled readiness to continue dialogue with the U.S. on mutual interests.
  • On treaty and detention issues, Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, noted Washington's refusal to extend New START limits after it expires next month and said Moscow awaits the release of two Russian crewmembers seized earlier this month.
