Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov warned on Tuesday that Moscow would take "military and technical compensatory measures" if the United States deploys elements of its proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system on the Arctic island.
Ryabkov made the remarks during a briefing at the Russian Embassy in China.
His remarks came as US President Donald Trump seeks to assert greater control over Greenland, the semi-autonomous Danish territory, and advances plans to deploy the "Golden Dome" missile defense system — a multibillion-dollar project he says will be operational before his term ends in 2029.
...His controversial plan comes as the New START treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between Russia and the United States, is set to expire this week, ending more than five decades of legally binding limits on the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals.
Ryabkov also addressed the impending expiration of the treaty, saying Russia had proposed continuing to observe the treaty’s limits for another year but received no response from Washington.
“The lack of a response is also a response,” he said, adding that Moscow would not pursue further outreach. He warned that responsibility for the collapse of arms control now rests with the United States, which has signaled it is prepared to let the treaty lapse without a replacement.
Ryabkov also said Russia would not be drawn into a new arms race, adding that Moscow is prepared for a “new reality” shaped by US policy choices. Restoring strategic stability, he added, would require a fundamental shift in Washington’s approach to relations with Russia.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov separately warned that the treaty’s expiration would leave the world in a more dangerous position than at any point since the Cold War, with no binding mechanisms remaining to limit or verify US and Russian nuclear arsenals.

Russia “Blah Blah Blah” All hat and no cattle as we say. Wake me up when they are not just faking and blustering.
Gives another excellent reason why Greenland should be part of the USA.
Russians don’t get to threaten and control what happens on Greenland.
I read elsewhere that Obama is having a fit about this and that it’s going to be nuclear proliferation.
For a defensive system…
Russians have been threatening to nuke us since August 29th, 1949, to the present!
the majority don't want to join
Obama is a fool or one of the most dangerous ops ever launched on the US.
When he was POTUS his drive and attempted act vs our defense community was to order them to plan the complete nuclear disarmament of the USA.
President Trump should tell Putin and his stooges to come and get it.
Russia is a toothless Tiger.It’s economy is in the trash and its Air Force has been weakened substantially.
Too damned bad. What they want is irrelevant.
The reasons have been published and there is no point in rehashing them.
We will be doing what we believe is best. If you don’t like that, tough.
Why they don’t get a choice. Ps: find Denmark on this map.
So, Russia wants to cooperate with NATO? Isn’t that special?
Found it.
But if Denmark wanted to deploy NATO assets on their own ground, they would be cool about it?
Russia is funny.
How realistic with current technology is this “Golden Dome” anyway? Until they perfect laser technology or something I just don’t see it happening.
Um, the US already has bases hence weapons in Greenland.
They can’t even defeat Ukraine (which they’re still tied up with, BTW), and they’re somehow going to take on the US? BS, its pure bluff.
Surprise, Russia never fully complied with the treaty .
Russian Noncompliance with and Invalid Suspension of the New START Treaty June 1, 2023
Russia’s noncompliance with the New START Treaty, and its claimed suspension of the treaty, are irresponsible and unlawful. Mutual compliance with the New START Treaty strengthens the security of the United States, our allies and partners, Russia, and the world. Russia’s claimed suspension of the New START Treaty is legally invalid. As a result, Russia remains bound by its obligations under the treaty. The United States remains ready to work constructively with Russia to fully implement the treaty.

It would negate MAD, which kept us safe since 1945, or so Russia thinks.
Isn’t Russia the dumb slobs that are having problems with Zelenskyyy?
Would this be the same Russia whose military is five years into a ‘special operation’ in Ukraine that was supposed to take weeks, and whose navy has been driven off by a nation without a navy?
