It didn't matter much that it was Russian Orthodox Christmas Eve. Kirill Dimitriev, Putin's special envoy for investment and economic cooperation, took the opportunity to mock the European Union after Donald Trump relaunched his ambitions for Greenland. The Russian presidential emissary, who is also a negotiator with the US on the issue of Ukraine, posts compulsively on the X social network.
First, a reply: «Greenland seems to be a done deal. The EU will continue to do what vassals do best: “monitor the situation” and demonstrate double standards. The next target: Canada?”, wrote Kirill Dimitriev on X, according to the Italian daily La Repubblica, quoted by Rador Radio Romania.
He then offers an ironic map of how Trump would divide the world between himself, the Russian president and the Chinese leader: the entire Western Hemisphere for himself; Asia, Europe and part of Africa for Vladimir Putin; the rest for Xi Jinping. “It was the era of redraw of influence maps. And the EU is “following closely”, comments Dmitriev.

“Come on Donny, tear down NATO!”
Belligerent “Z-bloggers” are largely silent after the US raid to oust Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, which succeeded in just hours, further exposed the flaws of Ukraine's four-year-old “Special Military Operation”, notes La Repubblica.
Only the military correspondent of “Komsomolskaia Pravda”, Alexander Kots, exploits Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's fear that a possible American intervention in Greenland would cause the collapse of NATO: “The American president needs support. Come on, Donny, destroy NATO!”.
Sovereignist philosopher Aleksandr Dughin, considered the ideologue of the Kremlin regime, notes that the United States has now abandoned “front diplomacy” in favor of the logic of the strongest. “The funniest thing is that when it comes to any other nation, such a position automatically becomes 'aggression', 'imperialism' and grounds for sanctions.”
Putin's ideologue says that “Ukraine will be entirely Russia's”. Dughin's plan for the Ukrainian people, the invaded territories and the “new administrative structure”
The only Russian MPs to come out of the long holiday weekend are senators Andrei Klishas and Alexei Pushkov. The first warns that the Danish “political dwarf” must prepare for scenarios where the global “rules” are defined without the EU. The second, however, reviving various topics dear to Russian propaganda, claims that Europe “will reap the fruits of its own policies. Did it separate Kosovo from Serbia? Did it destroy Libya? Did it participate in the occupation of Iraq? Did it support the coup d'état in Ukraine? Did it destroy international law? Now it could be its turn to pay the price.”
