NATO: Russian Nuclear Threat Intensifies, Kaliningrad at the Heart of Tensions

Russia warned NATO that it would be willing to use nuclear weapons if the Alliance attempted to cut off Kaliningrad, its Baltic exclave, according to a document revealed by Reuters. The document accuses NATO of dangerous policies that increase the risk of direct armed conflict. Tensions have escalated with warnings from Moscow, especially after deploying tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus in 2023 and expanding Russia's nuclear doctrine in 2024.
