Putin’s Official Stance
"None of Our Business": Speaking at a National Security Council meeting on January 21, 2026, Putin stated that the future of Greenland is a matter for Washington and Copenhagen to resolve.
Valuation Comparison: Putin drew a historical parallel to the 1867 sale of Alaska to the US for $7.2 million. He estimated Greenland's current value at approximately $200 million to $250 million, though he noted that adjusted for gold prices, it could be closer to $1 billion.
Critique of Denmark: While distancing Russia from the deal, he criticized Denmark's historical treatment of Greenland, describing it as "harsh, if not cruel" and referring to it as a colony.
Broader Geopolitical Context
Strategic Glee: Analysts note that the Kremlin is viewing the tension between the US and its NATO allies over Greenland with "glee and gloating," as it exposes rifts within the transatlantic alliance.
NATO Crisis: Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed on January 20, 2026, that the bid heralds a "deep crisis" for NATO, suggesting the alliance may struggle to remain a single military-political bloc.
Strategic Concerns: Despite the public indifference, some Russian commentators and military bloggers have expressed wariness, viewing a potential US takeover as a "noose around Russia's throat" that could threaten Russia's Northern Fleet and Arctic interests.
Ukraine Diversion: Pro-Kremlin media have argued that the focus on Greenland successfully diverts international attention away from the war in Ukraine.
