The Kremlin reiterated its demand that Ukraine withdraw its forces from the Donbas region as a precondition for peace talks. This statement was made ahead of planned trilateral talks between Russia, the US, and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, Danish troops stationed in Greenland were ordered to be combat-ready due to concerns about a potential US attack on the autonomous Danish territory. This order included equipping soldiers with live ammunition and the possibility of sending additional military personnel. Prior to these events, Nordic prime ministers had planned a joint trip to Greenland to demonstrate unity against US pressure, but the trip did not occur as planned.
