Russia has clarified that it does not act as a mediator in resolving tensions between Pakistan, India and Afghanistan, but remains open to providing assistance if requested.

Moscow: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday said that Greenland was not “a natural part” of Denmark and that the problem of former colonial territories was becoming more acute, according to news agency Reuters.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says the bid by U.S. President Donald Trump to take over Greenland poses a “deep crisis” for NATO and raises questions about the alliance’s preservation as a single military-political bloc.

Statements by the Russian side about its readiness to resume gas supplies via the surviving branch of the Nord Stream did not receive a response from Germany. This was announced on January 30 by Dmitry Lyubinsky,

But Russia had ‘no interest’ in interfering in Greenland's affairs, Sergei Lavrov said, adding that Washington knew  Moscow had no plans to take control of the island.

Ukraine said Russia had launched 375 drones and 21 missiles, which once again targeted energy infrastructure, knocking out power and heat for large parts of Kyiv.

Taking this opportunity, we wish Yuri Seliverstov every success in his new responsible position and reaffirm our readiness for productive cooperation, Maria Zakharova said.

The move came after the Russian Foreign Ministry announced last month that it was expelling a British Embassy employee over his "affiliation with British intelligence services."
