Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has remarked on the parallels between President-elect Donald Trump's plan for Greenland and Russia's actions in Ukraine.
Peskov emphasized the importance of considering local opinions, similar to how Russia purported to respect the sentiments of regions it annexed illegally.
Trump advocates for U.S. acquisition of Greenland for national security, while Kremlin officials monitor the diplomatic implications closely.
The situation is sensitive, as Greenland's Prime Minister firmly stated, "Greenland is ours. We are not for sale."
The Kremlin's comments come in the backdrop of ongoing tensions regarding Russia's past annexation of Ukrainian regions such as Crimea.
