Brussels, December 22 (Xinhua) — Denmark's territorial integrity and sovereignty, including over Greenland, must be preserved, said Anwar El-Anuni, the European Union's spokesman for external relations and security policy, commenting on the US appointment of a special envoy for Greenland.

“Maintaining the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark, its sovereignty and the inviolability of its borders is of key importance to the European Union,” the official representative said at a press conference, adding that the EU’s position is based on its long-established approach to this issue.

On Sunday, US President Donald Trump announced the appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as the United States' special envoy for Greenland. On Monday, Landry thanked Trump on the social media platform X, stating, "I am honored to serve you in this voluntary capacity to make Greenland part of the United States."

The appointment of a special envoy has exacerbated tensions between the United States and the leaders of Denmark and Greenland. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen announced on Monday that he intends to summon US Ambassador Ken Howery for a meeting.

Brussels, December 22 (Xinhua) — The Council of the European Union on Monday extended its previously imposed sweeping economic sanctions against Russia for another six months, until July 31, 2026.

Sectoral sanctions, first introduced in 2014, were significantly expanded after February 2022. According to the EU Council, the restrictions include broad restrictions in areas such as trade, finance, energy, technology, dual-use goods, industry, transport, and luxury goods.

The restrictive measures also include a ban on the import or transit of seaborne oil and certain petroleum products from Russia to the European Union, the exclusion of several Russian banks from the SWIFT system, and the suspension of broadcasting and licenses for several Russia-backed media outlets accused of spreading disinformation. Furthermore, the EU has taken targeted measures to prevent sanctions evasion.

The EU said these measures would remain in place for as long as Russia's actions continued, with further steps to be taken if necessary.

The EU statement also reaffirmed its commitment to continuing support for Ukraine. Last week, the European Council approved a €90 billion (approximately $105.4 billion) loan to meet Ukraine's military and economic needs over the next two years.

Moscow, December 22 (Xinhua) – Russia will act in kind if the United States conducts a nuclear test. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated this on Monday at an event of the Valdai International Discussion Club.

According to him, the countries of the European Union are manically obsessed with the "chimera" of an alleged "attack by Russia" being prepared against them, but Russia has no intention of attacking the EU and NATO countries and is prepared to legally document this.

France and the United Kingdom are moving "to a new level of coordination in the nuclear sphere, which includes joint nuclear planning and, accordingly, the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons by these two countries within the framework of a single plan," the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister noted.

The Russian diplomat added that the Russian side still has serious questions for the United States regarding Ukraine, but the administration of US President Donald Trump has taken a number of steps in the right direction.

At the same time, Sergei Ryabkov emphasized, Russia continues to take steps to maintain an open window of opportunity in the interests of political and diplomatic measures to ensure predictability and restraint in the strategic sphere. However, the United States has not yet responded to Russia's initiative to maintain central quantitative limits after the final termination of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) in February, the diplomat stated.

St. Petersburg, December 22 (Xinhua) — Expanding partnerships across a wide range of areas within the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is in the fundamental interests of the peoples of the organization's member countries. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this Monday while speaking at an informal CIS summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.

"Overall, I am convinced that expanding partnerships within the CIS in a wide range of areas is in the fundamental interests of the peoples of our countries," TASS quotes him as saying.

As the Russian leader noted, over the past 30 years, the organization has established itself as a reputable regional integration association, in which member countries build relations based on the principles of genuine good-neighborliness, equal partnership, mutual benefit, respect, and consideration of each other's interests.

Vladimir Putin emphasized that the CIS countries share similar or overlapping approaches to key global and regional issues and are unanimous in their approaches to world order. "All CIS states unanimously support the formation of a just world order based on the universally recognized principles of international law, with the UN playing a central role," he added.

According to the Russian head of state, the joint fight against terrorism, extremism, organized crime, and corruption remains an important area of cooperation. To this end, close operational contacts have been established between the security agencies of CIS member states, and long-term cooperation programs are being implemented.

“We will continue to work together to address the challenges of socio-economic development, strengthening stability and our common security,” concluded Vladimir Putin. –0–
