Russian MP calls on the US to return Alaska, U.S. military officer proposes buying Russian islands to build a base

Russian MPs Demand the US to Return Alaska!

Yesterday, US Army Major Jeffrey Fritz stated on his personal blog that the US government should purchase Russia's Komandorskiye Islands for 1.5 billion dollars, and establish a base there to monitor activities of third countries in the Arctic.

Russian State Duma member Mikhail Serebryakov strongly reacted to this, emphasizing that Russia will not negotiate the transfer of territorial sovereignty, and called on the President of the United States to immediately return Alaska.

"It seems that the American officer sincerely believes that we can sell everything here. Yes, Russia will not trade its sovereignty, nor will it charge any fees."

Serebryakov emphasized that Alaska was transferred to the US in the 19th century, and the lease period has been very long, suggesting that the US side should consider returning Russian historical territory.
