- Story Text:U.S. designs on Greenland were serious and had long historical roots, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday (March 27) in his major speech at the Arctic forum that took place in the northern city of Murmansk.
''These plans have old historic origins'', Putin said.
He also added that this had nothing to do with Russia but that it was clear that the U.S. would continue to promote its interests in the Arctic.
The Arctic holds fossil fuels and minerals beneath the land and the seabed that could become more accessible with global warming. It is also an area of military competition. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
