Story summary

In early October 2023, Russia warned NATO that it would be prepared to use nuclear weapons if the alliance attempted to isolate Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea bordered by Poland and Lithuania. The warning came in a diplomatic document and was echoed by Russian embassies in several European countries, accusing NATO of an "aggressive policy" and increasing risks of direct military confrontation. Moscow claims it has information suggesting NATO is preparing an air and naval blockade of Kaliningrad. In response, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte emphasized that the alliance remains defensive and urged Russia to stop issuing nuclear threats. The tensions arise as Russian President Vladimir Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine, with Kaliningrad serving as a strategic military outpost for Moscow's Baltic Fleet and missile systems.
