Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Zelensky said Ukrainian, French and British militaries have worked in detail on where and how multinational forces could be stationed, what numbers, weapons and units would be needed. He noted clarity on what each Coalition partner can offer and thanked every leader committed to a peaceful solution.
