Amid reports of the US delegation's visit to Greenland, the Russian Embassy stressed: "Moscow believes that security in the Arctic should be built through joint efforts of countries in the region through dialogue and cooperation. Russia is ready to cooperate with the US on a mutually beneficial basis for the sake of ensuring stability and sustainable development of the Arctic."

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed confidence earlier this week that the United States would continue to advance its military, political and economic interests in the Arctic region.

He also commented on Washington's plans to take control of Greenland, noting that this is a matter for two sovereign states - Denmark and the United States - to decide. He noted that this "has nothing to do" with Russia.

Regarding the situation on the ground in Ukraine, Interfax news agency on March 29 quoted the Russian Ministry of Defense as saying that Russian forces had taken control of the village of Panteleymonovka (also known as Panteleimonivka) in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) in eastern Ukraine and Scherbaky in the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine.

“Units of the Russian Yug (South) group of forces liberated the Panteleymonovka settlement thanks to decisive actions,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
