Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a signal to the West with his remarks about the Arctic, L’Antidiplomatico wrote.
The publication says the message is clear: as the Arctic becomes a new geopolitical front, the Kremlin is asserting internal stability, political control, and the ability to respond to social needs, presenting itself as a global player and a state that «listens» to its citizens.
On Wednesday, during a meeting with permanent members of Russia’s Security Council, Putin cited the 19th-century sale of Alaska by the Russian Empire to the United States and suggested that the price for Greenland could be $200–250 million. He added that the United States and Denmark will sort out the Greenland issue between themselves.
