🌍 Greenland, Russia & the Hidden Power Game

Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly downplayed the Greenland issue, calling it “none of our business” and framing it as a matter between Washington and Copenhagen. By comparing it to the 1867 Alaska sale, Putin even put a hypothetical value on Greenland — $200–250 million, or nearly $1 billion when adjusted for gold prices. At the same time, he sharply criticized Denmark’s historical treatment of Greenland, labeling it harsh and colonial.

But beneath this neutral tone lies a deeper geopolitical reality. Analysts say the Kremlin is quietly enjoying the growing tension between the US and its NATO allies, seeing it as proof of cracks inside the transatlantic alliance. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has gone further, calling the situation a sign of a “deep crisis” within NATO itself.

Still, not everyone in Russia is relaxed. Military commentators warn that a stronger US presence in Greenland could threaten Russia’s Arctic interests and its Northern Fleet. Pro-Kremlin media also argue that the Greenland debate conveniently shifts global focus away from the war in Ukraine.

This is not just about Greenland — it’s about Arctic strategy, NATO unity, and global distraction politics.
