57.3% of Greenlanders support joining the United States, 37.4% are against, according to a survey by NPO Patriot Polling.

New US sanctions have affected 15% of Russian coal production. The list includes the companies Kuzbassrazrezugol Explosion and Krasnoyarsk Krai Coal. Only one of the companies on the sanctions list operates both for the domestic market and for export, but even this puts significant pressure on the coal industry. Experts note that making payments for supplies is becoming increasingly difficult. Oil prices exceeded $81 per barrel, reaching a four-month high.

According to the agency's director, Chinese hackers have introduced malware into critical U.S. infrastructure facilities, including sewage treatment plants, energy networks, natural gas pipelines, and telecommunications systems. Such attacks pose a serious threat to national security. India has refused to buy Russian oil from companies and vessels subject to sanctions. Delhi adheres to a strict position, not accepting oil from tankers subject to sanctions. There are also problems with supplies to China: Three tankers with 2 million barrels of Russian oil were detained in waters off the east coast of China after the introduction of US restrictions.
