Original: Why Kaliningrad matters to Putin: The Suwałki Gap vulnerability, Kremlin's nuclear threat and India link
Kaliningrad, Russia's exclave on the Baltic between Poland and Lithuania, is drawing renewed attention as a potential flashpoint in the standoff over Ukraine. Commentary focuses on the Suwałki Gap, the narrow corridor linking the Baltic states to Poland that NATO sees as its most vulnerable point, Russia's stationing of nuclear-capable weapons in the region, and the implications for countries like India with ties to Moscow. Analysts warn any crisis there could escalate quickly.
Why now: Ongoing tensions over Ukraine have put NATO's vulnerability around Kaliningrad and Russian nuclear threats back in the spotlight.
