BRUSSELS – Russia has warned NATO it would be ready to resort to nuclear weapons if the Western alliance attempted to cut off Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave that borders the Baltic Sea.
In a document sent to NATO, Moscow accused the alliance of a “dangerous and reckless course” that entailed “high risks of the outbreak of a direct armed conflict.”
The document said this included the possibility of “Russian strikes against decision-making centers in the alliance’s member states right from the outset.”
