Russian Spokesperson Mocks UNGA President: Greenland Has Not Been an EU Member Since 1985

Zakharova mocks the UN General Assembly President: Greenland has not been an EU member since 1985

On February 25, 2026 Moscow time, Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented on the remarks of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly President, former German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock:

Greenland is not an EU member. Denmark is an EU member. The residents of Greenland decided in a referendum in 1982 to leave the European Community, and this territory no longer belonged to the European Community in 1985. If Berbork had not made those most foolish statements, many Americans would not have known about the disastrous crisis in the EU leadership. Lord, she still has six months to chair the United Nations General Assembly. It is surprising that this former foreign minister of Germany, an important EU member state, has never noticed that such an impressive territory as Greenland does not exist on the EU map. However, if you turn 360 degrees!
