00:00No, a Danish politician didn't seek Russia's help to keep Greenland.

00:08Denmark's intelligence services have said that the Kremlin was behind a recent disinformation operation targeting a Danish lawmaker.

00:18The campaign first surfaced in January as Donald Trump repeatedly threatened to seize control of Greenland,

00:26an autonomous territory belonging to Denmark, straining relations between Washington and Copenhagen.

00:32False online claims alleged that Karsten Hung, a Danish left-wing lawmaker, had asked Moscow to assist Denmark to prevent the US from annexing Greenland.

00:45They included a doctored Facebook post allegedly published by Hung that said,

00:51In a situation of extreme escalation and tension, we have to take extreme measures and ask for help from Russia to solve this problem.

01:00Hung has denounced the claims as fake news.

01:03The Danish Defense Intelligence Service now says the fabricated social media post was created by an online influencer known for promoting pro-Russian narratives,

01:14and who is linked to a larger influence network working on behalf of Russia.

01:19Copenhagen also says it's part of the Kremlin's strategy to undermine Western unity,

01:26and was also intended to sway the outcome of Greenland's election in March.

01:31The campaign is a reminder that Greenland is often caught in the crossfire when geopolitical tensions between world powers rise.

01:44and its strategic position in the Arctic makes it vulnerable to foreign interference.

01:49But it is sometimes one of the most common combinations of people who have been walking in the Arctic.

01:50If you have not ever seen it, you will skip over time for future generations.

01:51The one of the most common reasons I think is the majority of the population has been standing at the same time.

01:52But it doesn't just be one of the most common reasons.

01:54To the people who have ever seen the trends in the Arctic,

01:55the track of the African-Americaniders,

01:56where you can seefive years of the sea-makers,

01:58you can see the impact of the land-yards.

01:59And in the past, the people of the land-Americans,

02:00you can see the country of thebew uh-style representation with Drive-report,
