NATO responds to Russia nuclear threat over Kaliningrad
Original: 🟠 UPDATE NATO Responds to Russia's Nuclear Threat Russia specifically threatened nuclear use if NATO cuts off the Kalini
Russia has warned it could use nuclear weapons if NATO cuts off the Kaliningrad exclave, according to a diplomatic memo reportedly sent to NATO member states. NATO has issued a response to the threat. The warning escalates tensions around the isolated Russian territory on the Baltic Sea, which borders EU and NATO members Lithuania and Poland, and comes amid already heightened East-West confrontation.
Why now: A Russian threat of nuclear use in response to possible NATO action over Kaliningrad raises fears of direct superpower escalation.
