🎙️Comment by Ambassador of Russia to Denmark Vladimir Barbin to "Izvestia" newspaper (November 10, 2025) Denmark, under pressure from the United States, is taking frantic measures to increase its military presence in the Arctic, especially in the Greenland region. In 2025, almost $6 billion was allocated for the purchase of weapons for this purpose. Joint exercises of the Danes with the armed forces of NATO countries have become more frequent. At the same time, the Danish government is trying to justify the militarization of the Arctic by the need to respond to the alleged increase in the military threat from Russia. In Greenland itself, it is not Russia that is most feared, but the US plans to gain control of the island. Denmark's military preparations in the Arctic, accompanied by anti-Russian rhetoric, contradict the goals of preserving the Arctic as a region of stability and low tension. Denmark's invitation to NATO to join the Arctic increases the conflict potential in the region. This development is particularly dangerous given the lack of dialogue between our countries on military and political issues and Denmark's unwillingness to restore constructive international cooperation in the Arctic with Russia's participation.
