Moscow, January 20 (Xinhua) — It was previously difficult to imagine that discussions around Greenland would lead to the question of maintaining NATO unity. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this on Tuesday at a press conference summarizing Russia's diplomatic activities in 2025.

"Crisis trends are building within Western society itself. Greenland is a clear example, on everyone's lips, and around which such discussions are developing that it was hard to imagine such a thing happening before, including the prospects for NATO's continued existence as a unified Western military-political bloc," the minister noted.

Russia proceeds from the assumption that if Western countries, in the context of Greenland, want to communicate with each other according to common understanding, “that is their choice, that is their right,” S. Lavrov emphasized.

“But we will conduct business with our partners, with all partners, with countries of the global majority, and with Western countries that are interested in talking with Russia and discussing specific mutually beneficial projects, of course, on the principles of equality,” he concluded.
