""to explore options for ensuring security in light of Russian and Chinese threats in the Arctic""
""explore the framework conditions for possible military contributions to support Denmark in ensuring security in the region""
""Russia and China are increasingly using the Arctic for military purposes, thereby jeopardising the freedom of transport, communication and trade. "NATO will not allow this and will continue to uphold the rules-based international order. It is crucial for me that we coordinate very closely within NATO, particularly with our US partners, during the joint exploration in Greenland under Danish leadership.""
Germany, France, Sweden and Norway deployed a joint reconnaissance mission to Greenland to assess security and operational options amid increasing Russian and Chinese activity in the Arctic. The German defence ministry described the mission as exploring options for ensuring security in light of Russian and Chinese threats. A 13-strong Bundeswehr team will help explore framework conditions for possible military contributions to support Denmark. The mission proceeds at Denmark's invitation to gather information about local conditions for operations and training. The unit will fly first to Denmark's Karup air base and then to Greenland on a Danish civilian aircraft as a sign of allied unity.
