MOSCOW, Feb 10 : The situation surrounding Greenland has demonstrated the fragility of the image of solidarity, mutual assistance and understanding that was created around NATO and the European Union, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday.
“Europe is in tatters. Greenland has shown how shaky the image of solidarity, mutual assistance, and understanding that was created around both NATO and the EU is. I don’t know what Europe will do,” Lavrov said in an interview with Russian broadcaster NTV.
Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that the island should become part of the United States. The Danish and Greenlandic authorities have warned Washington against seizing the island, noting that they expect respect for their territorial integrity.
