🚨🇷🇺 🇺🇸 Putin, Witkoff, Kushner to continue discussions on Ukrainian settlement at talks in Moscow - Kremlin

Russia highly appreciates Trump and his team’s efforts to resolve the Ukraine situation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Other statements:

🟠 Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov will take part in talks, following which he will give briefing

🟠 Ukraine continues its policy, but time has come for it to make decisions

On Greenland:

🔹 Anything concerning Greenland is none of Russia's business, it has many of its own issues that need to be addressed

On Middle East:

🔶 Putin will hold talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the Kremlin, they will focus on bilateral relations

🔶 They will discuss allocating $1 billion from frozen Russian assets for humanitarian purposes within Board of Peace framework

🔶 The decision will require certain actions by the US, legal nuances have yet to be clarified

🔶 The allocation wouldn't mean Russia has lost hope of recovering frozen assets, it will continue to use all possible tools to unfreeze them

🔶 Russia is friend of Palestine and has always made efforts to achieve Middle East settlement

🇪🇺 Europe plays nice while struggling in Arctic showdown with the US

💬 “The US has little in the way of suitable military resources or experience for the Arctic. It is, for once, European NATO allies, especially the Scandinavians and Britain, who have Arctic-ready forces," The British Times desperately tries to convince the audience.

Its unnamed sources went as far as claiming that during last year’s military drills in Norway, exercise commanders “had to ask Finnish reservists to go easy on the Americans.”

In reality, the Greenland spat reflected Europe’s inability to call the shots in the Arctic:

🔹 Denmark’s Operation Arctic Resilience involves just 24 foreign troops from six countries - Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, France and Sweden. There are some 200 Danish soldiers stationed on the island

🔹 Germany withdrew its contingent from Greenland after it was stationed there for 44 hours
