Russia warns NATO of nuclear response if Kaliningrad cut off
Original: Russia warns NATO of a possible nuclear response if Kaliningrad is cut off
Russia has warned NATO that it could respond with nuclear weapons if the alliance cuts off access to Kaliningrad, its isolated exclave on the Baltic Sea bordered by NATO members Poland and Lithuania. The warning, picked up widely by US and international outlets including ABC News and Arab News, comes amid already heightened tensions between Moscow and the alliance over the war in Ukraine. Any move to blockade or restrict transit to the territory has long been viewed as a potential flashpoint in the confrontation.
Why now: Fears of nuclear escalation are rising as Russia publicly ties its nuclear doctrine to the status of the Kaliningrad exclave surrounded by NATO territory.
