How the Ukraine war gave Canada & Denmark a border?

The Ukraine war helped Canada and Denmark get a border because they both wanted some land that used to belong to Russia.

Like When You Share a Toy

Imagine you and your friend both want the same toy. The toy is in the middle of the room, but it belongs to someone else, like your teacher. If your teacher gives you the toy, then you have something new, and maybe you even get a border with your friend.

That’s what happened with Canada and Denmark. A part of land called Greenland used to belong to Denmark, but Russia had some control over it too. When the Ukraine war started, Denmark decided to take back that land from Russia, and Canada helped them out.

Like Drawing a Line on Sand

Canada and Denmark are like two friends who just drew a new line in the sand, this line is their border. Now they both have something new to share, just like you and your friend would if you both got the same toy together.
