Denmark is preparing for a possible conflict with Russia in Greenland. This was reported by Bloomberg on October 31.

"We are considering the scenario of a future threat that we will have to deal with," Soren Andersen, head of the Joint Arctic Command in Greenland, told the agency.

According to published information, concerns about the alleged impending threat from Russia are increasing due to a change in activity off the coast of Norway, growing cooperation with China in the Bering Strait, tactics used in the conflict with Ukraine, as well as the use of a "shadow" fleet.

It is noted that it was these concerns that caused Denmark to conduct exercises in Greenland in September. Meanwhile, last year's Danish military exercises focused on rescue operations and civilian tasks.

Bloomberg points to the expansion of the Russian military arsenal with nine submarines and four Borey-A nuclear submarines. In addition, recent incidents involving unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flying in Denmark are linked by government officials to Russia. As stated in the agency's material, the country is allegedly "a target" for the Russian side.

Earlier, on October 10, reports surfaced that the Danish authorities, amid threats from American leader Donald Trump to take Greenland under U.S. control, intend to allocate $8.5 billion for defense. It was clarified that Copenhagen plans to allocate $4 billion of this amount to "protect the Arctic." The package will include the purchase or leasing of two new Arctic ships, a number of maritime patrol aircraft and drones. For the remaining amount, Denmark intends to purchase 16 new F-35 fighter jets from the United States.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
