On January 22, the Center for Public Analytics 'Vezha' hosted a conversation with political analyst, former MP, and head of the 'DeloVaya Stolitsa' think tank, Vadym Denysenko. The discussion focused on negotiations around Greenland, US geopolitical influence, and Donald Trump's position.
Denysenko stated that there were no plans for a war in Greenland; the current agreements between Denmark and the US involve limited territorial concessions, similar to the UK's military bases in Cyprus, and a broader treaty regarding Greenland's territory and resources is expected.
The conversation also emphasized a shift in global collaboration formats, portraying Trump's Davos speech as part of his information strategy. According to Denysenko, European leaders, especially from Germany and France, are divided over cooperation with the US or China, while the future of the social state in Europe is uncertain.
The discussion touched on President Zelensky's visit to Davos, the dynamics of negotiations with Russia, and the influence of Trump's rhetoric on European and Ukrainian politics. Denysenko expressed doubts about reaching a quick agreement with Russia, with key negotiation points remaining territories, sanctions, and political changes in Ukraine.
In conclusion, US policy changes, internal European debates, and Ukraine's position on security cooperation will define the next steps in the region. Prolongation of the war benefits some global players, complicating its resolution in the near future.
