Putin Compares Greenland to the Alaska Purchase 🇺🇸❄️ Putin says Greenland is not Russia’s concern but points to history — reminding that Russia sold Alaska to the U.S. in 1867.

He also references Denmark’s past sale of the Virgin Islands, calling such transactions historical precedents. #Putin #Russia #trump #usa #breakingnews
