The Kremlin has responded to remarks by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump concerning Greenland and Canada, emphasizing that the Arctic is a zone of Russia's strategic national interests. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is closely monitoring what it describes as the 'rather dramatic development' of the situation following Trump's comments. Peskov also noted that Russia seeks peace and stability in the Arctic region. He criticized Europe's reaction to Trump's statements as being very timid and cautious. The Kremlin's comments come in the context of Trump's refusal to rule out military action to annex Greenland, a Danish territory, and his remarks about the U.S.-Canada border.
