The geopolitical tensions surrounding Greenland have escalated as Russia issued a stark warning against the militarization of the Arctic island. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Moscow would take 'adequate countermeasures, including military-technical ones' if Western nations increase their military presence in Greenland, as reported by Pakistan Today and NewsX World. This development follows U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial push to annex Greenland, which he later retracted after reaching a 'framework' deal with NATO chief Mark Rutte, according to Pakistan Today. Lavrov emphasized that any military capabilities aimed at Russia would trigger a response, highlighting the strategic importance of Greenland in the Arctic region.
