Moscow - The Kremlin said on Friday that Russia considers Greenland to be Danish territory, and added that the security situation surrounding the island was "extraordinary" from the perspective of international law.
Moscow said this week that its was unacceptable for the West to keep claiming that Russia and China threatened Greenland, and said that the crisis over the territory showed the double standards of Western powers which claimed moral superiority.
