Zelenskyy says Ukraine will not send troops to Greenland, citing three reasons
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine will not send troops to Greenland, citing three reasons: the ongoing full-scale war, the absence of a request from Denmark and the fact that Ukraine is not a NATO member.
Zelenskyy said during an online press briefing troops are in short supply, especially in the midst of the full-scale war.
"As regards our troops, you know we have a war, all our soldiers are on the front. I have very good relations with Mette [Frederiksen, Prime Minister of Denmark – ed.]. She has not approached me on this issue.
I think it is because everyone understands: Ukraine is not in NATO, we are not being taken into NATO, all of this is clear," Zelenskyy said.
According to Sky News, US President Donald Trump suggested that European military presence on Greenland would be a provocation against him.
Trump has advised Europe to focus on the Russo-Ukrainian war instead of Greenland.
