Tensions are escalating in the Arctic as Greenland becomes the latest flashpoint in U.S.-Russia-West relations. Russia has reaffirmed that Greenland remains Danish territory, labeling recent U.S. security claims and attempts at influence as a “double standard” and a challenge to international norms. Through official statements, Moscow described the security situation around Greenland as “extraordinary”, accusing Western powers of pushing a flawed, unilateral agenda. Russian officials, including Maria Zakharova, criticized the Western rules-based order, highlighting Denmark’s perceived subordination to U.S. influence as a fundamental flaw. WATCH
