Kyiv Rejects Pressure to Surrender More Donbas Territory

  The Ukrainian delegation on the first day of the third round of the trilateral talks (with the US and Russia) in Geneva. Ukraine has firmly dismissed suggestions that it should concede additional territory in the Donbas region, despite reported pressure from the United States to consider territorial compromises as part of potential negotiations with Russia.

Usha Vance's Greenland Visit Amid U.S. Takeover Speculation

Second Lady Usha Vance is set to visit Greenland later this week, marking a significant moment as President Donald Trump continues to express interest in acquiring the Danish territory. The White House announced that Vance, accompanied by her son and a U.S. delegation, will explore historical sites, learn about Greenlandic heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersu, Greenland's national dogsled race.

This visit comes amidst heightened tensions following President Trump's remarks about Greenland's strategic importance for national and international security. Trump has reiterated his desire to bring Greenland under U.S. control, citing its rich natural resources and geopolitical significance. Greenland's Prime Minister, Mute Egede, has criticized the visit as "highly aggressive," accusing the U.S. of demonstrating power over the territory.

While the White House has framed Vance's trip as a cultural celebration, the timing has raised eyebrows, especially as Greenland navigates its political future. The island's leaders have firmly rejected the idea of becoming part of the U.S., emphasizing their right to self-determination. 

The visit underscores the growing geopolitical interest in the Arctic region, with Greenland at the center of a complex tug-of-war between global powers. As the world watches, the implications of this visit could resonate far beyond the icy shores of Greenland.
