According to the facts, it was observed and verified first-hand through the journalist or informed and verified from competent sources.

Russia concludes an agreement with the new president of the United States, Donald Trump, if he succeeds in his ambitions for the United States to win Greenland, said a Russian politician and a Kremlin propagandist in the state of television.

Andrey Gurulyov, a member of the Russian Parliament (Duma) and the former army commander, made those comments an appearance on the state television channel Russia-1, where he spoke next to the host Vladimir Solovyov.

Newsweek reached out to the Kremlin and the Trump-Vance transition team for the watchdog email on Tuesday.

‼ Andrey Gurulev, deputy of Russia: “We want Greenland, it is not a joke. At least, we can make a deal with Trump and divide Greenland in some pieces. It is transparent that Denmark will never be there again. Also incredibly incredibly incredibly for us.

The president -elect Trump has said that the United States won Greenland, a semi -automobile island that is a component of Denmark and the Chamber to a base of the force of the US area. UU. Obtain the territory.

Russian politician Gurulyov said on state TV that Russia needs Greenland and should bargain with Trump to split the territory “into a couple of pieces.”

The former army commander added that Russia had installed army bases in Svalbard, Arctic region, because it is “very close to our northern fleet”, which “is incredibly vital for us today. “

Russia must increase its military presence in the Arctic, Gurulyov said, adding that it is a key issue for Russia besides the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Egede previously said the country is “not for sale and will never be for sale,” but he added on Monday that he wishes to work with the U.S. more closely on defense and exploring its mining resources.

Russian politician Andrey Gurulyov said on state television: “Trump exercises his claim to Greenland. Why don’t we look at Greenland? We want Greenland; there is no joke. At least, we can conclude an agreement with Trump and divide Greenland in a few parts.

“Svalbard, which is very close to our Northern Fleet, is extremely important to us today. There will be some very nice bases there. There will be some very nice bases there, affixing the whole of the Arctic component.

“Today, obviously, we want to build the Arctic Army component, based on situations that are being developed, adding in Ukraine. We are only for Ukraine, right? The Arctic is a moment and a greater challenge that has begun, and we want sit and calculate the war obviously.

Greenland’s prime minister, Múte Egede, told Reuters in December: “Greenland is ours. We are not on sale and we will never be on sale. We will not have to lose our long struggle for freedom. “

Trump’s quest to annex Greenland upon his return to the White House on January 20 is unlikely to be smooth sailing. He hasn’t ruled out using military or economic force to take control of the island. However, Greenland is part of Denmark, a NATO member, which could therefore trigger Article 4 of NATO’s founding treaty. The article can be invoked when any member of the military alliance deems the “territorial integrity, political independence or security” of any member state to be threatened.
