A European military mission began today, Thursday, in the Danish-controlled territory of Greenland, reflecting rising international tensions over the Arctic region. This comes a day after a meeting in Washington between US, Danish, and Greenlandic officials ended in significant disagreements.
France, Sweden, Germany, and Norway announced their intention to deploy troops to Greenland as part of a reconnaissance mission within the framework of a Danish exercise known as "Polar Endurance," aimed at enhancing security readiness in the Arctic.
French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that the first French military units are already en route to the island, with additional forces to follow in the coming period.
For its part, the German Ministry of Defense explained that its participation aims to explore potential military contributions to support Denmark in securing the region, particularly in the area of maritime surveillance. The ministry indicated that the reconnaissance mission will continue from Thursday until Saturday, with the participation of a team of 13 German soldiers.
