January 2026 mein National Security Council meeting ke dauran, Russian President Vladimir Putin ne Greenland ke future par apni official position clear kar di. Unka kehna tha ke yeh mamla Washington aur Copenhagen ke darmiyan hai, aur Russia ka is se koi seedha ta’alluq nahi.
Putin ne historical comparison dete hue 1867 mein Alaska ki sale ka zikar kiya, jo sirf $7.2 million mein America ko bechi gayi thi. Unke mutabiq, Greenland ki aaj ki estimated value $200–250 million ho sakti hai, jab ke gold-adjusted valuation ke mutabiq yeh $1 billion tak bhi pohanch sakti hai.
Russia ne officially deal se distance rakha, lekin Putin ne Denmark par tanqeed ki, Greenland ke sath us ke historical rawaiye ko “sakht aur colony jaisa” qarar diya.
Badi tasveer mein dekha jaye to Kremlin is poori situation ko strategic satisfaction ke sath dekh raha hai. Analysts ke mutabiq, Greenland par US aur NATO allies ke darmiyan tension transatlantic alliance ke andar darar ko expose kar rahi hai.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov ne bhi is issue ko NATO ke liye “deep crisis” ka signal qarar diya, jab ke kuch Russian military analysts America ke possible control ko Russia ke Arctic interests aur Northern Fleet ke liye threat samajh rahe hain.
Is ke ilawa, pro-Kremlin media ka kehna hai ke Greenland par focus international attention ko Ukraine war se divert karne mein bhi madadgar sabit ho raha hai.
