Russia is observing tensions between the United States and Europe regarding Greenland with a mix of satisfaction, gloating, and caution. These tensions arose in January 2026, stemming from disagreements over US policy towards the territory. Protests against the US policy occurred in Nuuk, Greenland. The situation is viewed by Russia with some pleasure as it highlights potential divisions within NATO and the Western alliance. However, Russia also maintains a degree of wariness, likely due to the strategic implications of Greenland's location and the potential for increased military activity in the Arctic region.
