Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova said on the ministry website on the 18th that Moscow has demanded Japan withdraw the US "Typhon" medium-range missile system deployed in Japan. Russia sent a diplomatic protest on the 3rd over the deployment. Zakharova said the system must not be placed on Russia’s frontier regardless of Japan’s stated excuses, deployment duration or method, and said Tokyo must fully accept the outcome of World War II—including the territorial status of the Southern Kurils (Japan’s Northern Territories)—and abandon a policy of remilitarization.

Danish prime minister's office said Greenland, Denmark and the United States are expected to sign an agreement next week to strengthen security in the Arctic and North Atlantic.
