Russia Warns NATO of Nuclear Response if Kaliningrad Isolated Amid Rising Baltic Tensions
Russia has warned NATO it would be prepared to use nuclear weapons if the alliance attempts to isolate Kaliningrad, a heavily militarized Russian exclave between Poland and Lithuania. Moscow described NATO's actions as dangerous and reckless, raising the risk of direct armed conflict and possible strikes on decision-making centers in NATO countries. NATO denies threatening Russia and calls on Moscow to end its invasion of Ukraine and cease nuclear rhetoric. The warnings come amid heightened tensions over military exercises and strategic concerns in the Baltic region.
