Key statements by Putin:
- Territorial restoration: The remaining frozen Russian assets in the US are proposed to be used for the restoration of territories affected by hostilities, after the conclusion of a peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine.
- Greenland issue: According to Putin, the topic of US-Greenland relations does not concern Russia. He noted that Washington is capable of purchasing the island if the price is comparable to the cost of selling Alaska. At the same time, he critically commented on Denmark's policy towards Greenland.
- Negotiations on Ukraine: Tomorrow, January 22, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will arrive in Moscow to continue the dialogue on resolving the situation in Ukraine.
The Russian side considers participation in the "Peace Council" as a platform for further communication with the new US administration.
