Copenhagen could find out, for example, whether the European Union is obliged to protect Greenland in some way, whether it can refer to the provisions of NATO's common defense against an attack by the alliance's largest member, and what Washington's obligations under the 1951 treaty are, according to the article, which is reported by Strana.

It is noted that under the above-mentioned treaty, the States pledged to Denmark to protect Greenland from attack. 74 years later, US President-elect Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of using military force to take control of the island.

"Well, let's do it without excesses. A squadron of old F-16s wouldn't have helped much against the US. In addition, Denmark now has a "Budapest", according to which Ukraine is obliged to protect it. It remains for the Danes to have the courage and turn to Zelensky (the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky. — EADaily)…» — the Ukrainian telegram channel Zerada comments on the article.
