Vladimir Soloviov, one of the most vocal propagandists of Putin’s regime, suggested that Russia could collaborate with the United States to “liberate” Greenland — an ironic allusion, but not without substance, to the intentions of American President Donald Trump to “buy” the island from Denmark.
The statements, broadcast on Russian state television, come in the context where Trump has harshly criticized NATO and resumed accusations against Europe, suggesting that the Alliance would become irrelevant if Washington loses interest in the region. “If we don’t take Greenland, Russia or China will,” said Trump, minimizing the role of the other NATO members.
This rhetoric was followed by Soloviov’s prompt reaction, who mocked Europe, accusing it of “foreign influence” in the Arctic. In a tone that combines sarcasm with threat, he said: “For us, it would be beneficial if Trump went to war with Europe. We are ready to help him liberate Greenland,” writes The Sun.
A dangerous joke with strategic echoes
Although the statements may seem like a simple media provocation, they come against the backdrop of increasing tensions around the Arctic Circle. The stakes are clear: sea routes, natural resources, and military positioning.
European sources have signaled that a possible American operation in Greenland could mark the “end of NATO as we know it” and even trigger a crisis among allies.
In this context, London, Germany, and Copenhagen are actively discussing the deployment of troops and equipment to strengthen the island’s security.
