In a comment to public broadcaster DR<\/a>, foreign minister Lars L\u00f8kke Rasmussen<\/strong> said that \u201cany attempt to interfere in the Kingdom\u2019s internal affairs will obviously be unacceptable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The move comes after DR reported<\/a> that Danish intelligence services have uncovered a network of \u201cat least three\u201d people working on \u201cinfluence operations\u201d in Greenland to drive a wedge between Denmark and the territory<\/strong>, in a bid to pave the way for it to get closer to the United States.<\/p>\n The broadcaster said it knew the names of the three American men involved in the operations, but chose not to publish them to protect sources. It said they were previously known to be close to Trump, but it was not immediately clear if they worked on the White House\u2019s order or on their own.<\/p>\n It alleged that one of the men visited Greenland to attend meetings and compile a list of potential allies and opponents of Donald Trump\u2019s plans<\/strong> to take over the territory.<\/p>\n He also allegedly urged Greenlanders to \u201cpoint out cases that could be used to put Denmark in a bad light in American media,\u201d<\/strong> DR said.<\/p>\n The two other men were allegedly involved in building networks of contacts<\/strong> with politicians, business figures and community leaders to pursue Trump\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n The meeting with the US charge d\u2019affaires is expected later today<\/strong>, Rasmussen said.<\/p>\n In May, Wall Street Journal also reported<\/a> that the US stepped up its intelligence operations to spy on Greenland, also prompting Rasmussen to summon US envoy for a chat.<\/p>\n A Greenlandic parliamentarian, Aaja Chemnitz<\/strong>, told DR that it was unacceptable to \u201ctry to infiltrate Greenlandic society in this way,\u201d insisting that \u201cit is Greenland itself that must decide what we want and what kind of future we want.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Morning opening: ‘Very substantive’ talks on security guarantees on Ukraine, Zelenskyy says Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong> said last night he was making progress in talks with European and US partners on designing potential security guarantees for Ukraine should the war be brought to a close.<\/p>\n In his nightly address<\/a>, he said:<\/p>\n \u201cIt is important that everything be as practical as possible<\/strong> \u2013 what forces on the ground, in the air, at sea \u2013 everything must be clearly defined. <\/p>\n And the foundation of our security is our strong Ukrainian army,<\/strong> \u2026 which means long-term financing and the provision of weapons \u2013 all of this will be ensured. \u2026<\/p>\n We are working very substantively with the Americans following our meeting in Washington. We now have a new foundation for joint efforts. This is significant.<\/strong><\/p>\n The only signal Russia is sending indicates that it intends to continue evading real negotiations.<\/strong> This can be changed only through strong sanctions, strong tariffs \u2013 real pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Separately, US peace envoy Steve Witkoff revealed overnight that he will be meeting with Ukrainian officials this week<\/strong>, insisting that US back-channel talks with both Ukraine<\/strong> and Russia<\/strong> continue.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m meeting with the Ukrainians this week. So I will be meeting with them this week in New York, and that\u2019s a big signal.<\/strong> We talk to the Russians every day,\u201d Witkoff said on Fox News.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, I will be keeping an eye on a high-profile visit by French president Emmanuel Macron<\/strong>, German chancellor Friedrich Merz<\/strong>, and Polish prime minister Donald Tusk<\/strong> in Moldova.<\/p>\n![\"Jakub](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1756281850_490_Jakub_Krupa.png\")
