Russia's Nuclear Posturing Over Kaliningrad Raises NATO Escalation Fears
Original: Russia’s Nuclear Coercion Against NATO’s Eastern Flank: Kaliningrad - Ukraine Support and the Risk of a Manufactured Escalation Crisis
Russia is using its nuclear forces stationed in Kaliningrad to pressure NATO's eastern members over their support for Ukraine, according to a report on the risk of a deliberately manufactured escalation crisis. The analysis warns that Moscow could stage or amplify a nuclear-related incident near the Baltic exclave to deter Western weapons deliveries and fracture Alliance unity among frontline states like Poland and the Baltics.
Why now: Ongoing Western military support for Ukraine keeps fears of Russian nuclear signalling and escalation near NATO's eastern flank high.
