During the presentation of the analytical report “War – 2024” at the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center, experts of the non -governmental analytical center “Ukrainian Strategic Studies Studies Studies” explained the reasons for some of the ambiguous statements of Donald Trump.
Answering the question of the correspondent Armyinform, which can mean a statement of intention to buy Greenland from the Danish Kingdom, Doctor of Philosophy in the field of social and behavioral science The time of stay on the island during the Second World War.
“Many of us look wrongly at the world card. We look rectangularly at her, and we need to look at the globe from above to understand what a kilometer and whose possession there.
Americans do not have a permanent large port city in the Arctic, there is no settlement that will provide them with permanent maritime communications. There are only two bases that are a little in the Arctic circle in Alaska. But Russia has a healthy base of Murmansk with a population of more than 200,000 people, has several military bases, one of which is 65 km from the extreme island of the Norwegian Archipelago of Swalbard, which is fully demilitarized.
This base is called the Arctic Three Little Personal on the settlement of Nagursk on the island of Alexandra Earth. It was put into operation in the 20th year. And in the 24th Russia lowered a number of atomic iceings on the water. Currently, the Russian fleet and civilian and military (they have a combined group of the Northern Fleet) have 41 icebreakers, in particular, a number of nuclear icebreakers, armed with winged maritime base rockets and anti-radiolocating missiles X-35 of different modifications. The distance is operating from the least 130 km to the largest 2300 km. And not to go into detail – here is the answer to the question of why the states are so interested in Greenland. Because it is necessary to deploy ballistic missiles there, including, ”said Andrei Rudyk.
The expert also stressed that Russia is interested in the Arctic because 85% of Russian gas production is in the Arctic region. And it protects it with three main military bases, where more than a thousand military persons, including the Federal Security Service, which takes care of a number of border issues there. In addition, in addition to military bases, Russia has 10 full -fledged airfields and ice rockets in the Arctic.
Whereas, according to open data, there are only 100 personnel in Denmark in Denmark in Greenland, most of them civil.
Andriy Rudyk “In addition to the Arctic Three Base, I mentioned, on the island of Wrangel, which adjoins Chukotka, is the Polar Star base (opened in 2014 – ed.). And they still have one base in the Novosibirsk Islands (Severery Klewer – Ed.), Which are adjacent to the Nenets Autonomous District.
Therefore, it is clear that the states, more precisely, the Trump administration, in my personal opinion, as a scientist, a little shocked by the difference of presence.
By the way, why the issue of Nunavut (a territory covering most of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago – Ed.) Was also raised about Canada) – because Canada has only radar stations. And you will not take away the rocket radar stations. Their task is only to identify them, ”the expert said.
On the continuation of the topic, candidate of political sciences, head of research programs of the National Academy of Sciences “USSD” Yuri Oliynyk noted that the shortest trajectories of flights of intercontinental missiles from Russia to America through the Arctic.
Yuri Oliynyk “And besides, as in Panama, where Chinese influence is very high, in Greenland, China also attempts to negotiate with Denmark to advance its investment. There is also a Cuba as well from that block. Obviously, this is increasingly threatening for the US, because they can be surrounded by China friends on all sides, ”Yuri Oliynyk said.
Alexander Chupak The head of the economic programs of the NATS “USSD” Alexander Chupak, in turn, expressed the confidence that Denmark would most likely propose the United States to strengthen the military presence in Greenland, and this will be the real consequence of all these statements in question.
