Any military encroachment on Russiaβs Kaliningrad Region will be met with an immediate response using all available forces and means, as provided for by the military doctrine and the principles of Russiaβs state policy on nuclear deterrence, Russian presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev told Sputnik.Β
Earlier this month, Gen. Christopher T. Donahue, commanding general of US Army Europe and Africa, said that NATO had sufficient capabilities to neutralize Russia’s Kaliningrad region in case of a conflict and had already developed a corresponding plan.
“We have long been aware of western plans concerning Kaliningrad. I can comment on them in the only possible way. The Kaliningrad region is an integral part of Russia and any military encroachment on it will be met with an immediate and crushing response using all the forces and means at our disposal
NATO says itβs ready to seize Kaliningrad faster than ever before, as part of a new plan to counter future Russian aggression.π€‘
