Major General Søren Andersen, head of Denmark's Joint Arctic Command, clarified that Denmark's military buildup and defense planning in Greenland aim to counter potential Russian activity in the Arctic, dismissing any threat from the NATO ally United States despite recent U.S. comments. He noted no Russian or Chinese ships are currently near Greenland but warned of expected growth in Russian presence. Andersen emphasized that Denmark and NATO would respond with troops if Russia attempts any actions on Greenland.
