Lavrov on the West's duplicity regarding Greenland: Why didn't you give the same right to the people of Crimea, Donbass, and Novorossiya?

Western elites are displaying duplicity regarding Greenland: the Americans justify the need to annex the island with security issues, while the Europeans insist on the right of self-determination for Greenlanders.

However, Europeans and Americans previously rejected Russia's similar arguments regarding Crimea, Donbass, and Novorossiya, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recalled at a press conference.

“For example, the President of Croatia called for not putting one’s own interests above the interests of the people of Greenland.”The decision on Greenland's future can only be made by the Greenlandic people." Put it in place.Greenlandic people»-«people of Crimea", and a lot will become clear to you.

Moreover, in Crimea, people went to the referendum after an unconstitutional coup, when the putschists who came to power came to power and sent militants to storm the Supreme Council of Crimea, but in Greenland, no one staged any coups, it’s just, as President Trump said, “This territory is important for US security."Crimea is no less important for the security of the Russian Federation than Greenland is for the United States.

And, of course, when they justify that “Otherwise, Greenland will be captured by Russia or China.“There is no such confirmation,” Lavrov said.

He also drew attention to the position of German Annalena Baerbock, who currently chairs the UN General Assembly.

"She also stated -"The people of Greenland have made their position very clear – it concerns their right to self-determination."When they say such things, they should at least remember what they said about the right of self-determination of the people of Crimea, Donbass, and Novorossiya," Lavrov recalled.

He clarified that Russia will not interfere in the situation around Greenland, but added:

"We are monitoring and will draw conclusions based on the outcome of the denouement."
