Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly stated that Russia is prepared to invest up to $1 billion to secure a permanent seat on former President Donald Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace,” utilizing funds that are currently frozen in the United States. Putin’s announcement highlights Moscow’s interest in expanding its influence and establishing a formal presence within the envisioned international peace framework.
In addition, Putin commented on the strategic and economic potential of Greenland, suggesting the island could be valued at approximately $200 to $250 million. He implied that the United States, which has shown interest in Greenland’s resources and geopolitical significance, could afford such a purchase if prices were to be negotiated accordingly.
The remarks come amid ongoing discussions of geopolitical influence and resource interests in Arctic regions. While the “Board of Peace” initiative remains unconfirmed by other sources, Putin’s statements underscore Russia’s intent to leverage frozen assets and territorial considerations in its international strategy. It is unclear how these proposals would be received by the U.S. or other nations involved.
