Russia Warns NATO Over Kaliningrad as Baltic Tensions Escalate
Russia has warned NATO that any attempt to isolate its Kaliningrad exclave could provoke a military response, including the use of its full range of capabilities. Kaliningrad, located between Poland and Lithuania, is a heavily militarised Russian territory on the Baltic Sea. Moscow said NATO actions risk triggering direct conflict and warned of possible strikes on alliance decision-making centres. Russian officials also accused some European leaders of pursuing a confrontational approach. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte rejected the warning, insisting the alliance is defensive and poses no threat to Russian territory. Security analysts say the rhetoric raises the risk of miscalculation as tensions over Ukraine and security in Europe continue.
