In a recent interview with the BBC, also aired on BBC Radio, Risk Intelligence CEO Hans Tino Hansen discussed security in the Arctic, addressing concerns over Russia’s increased presence.

Originally published on 8 March 2025, the BBC article highlights Hansen’s insights into Arctic security. While acknowledging Russia’s growing activity, he pointed out that it does not pose a direct threat to the US or Greenland. He also noted that the US has reduced its Arctic capabilities, particularly with the removal of icebreakers. With Denmark increasing its defence spending in the Arctic, Hansen emphasised that security can be strengthened not through a US takeover of Greenland, but through stronger defence agreements and economic cooperation, including raw materials. He suggested that such cooperation could restore the strategic partnership seen in the 1950s and 1960s, reinforcing regional stability.
