Russia warned NATO it would be prepared to use its entire arsenal, including nuclear weapons, if the alliance attempted to cut off or isolate Kaliningrad, a strategically important Russian exclave bordered by Poland and Lithuania. The warning came via a diplomatic document sent to NATO, echoing statements from several Russian embassies in Europe expressing concern over alleged NATO preparations for an air and naval blockade of Kaliningrad. In response, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte downplayed the threat, emphasizing that there was no imminent danger to NATO territory from Russia and that NATO is a defensive alliance with no aggressive intent toward Kaliningrad.
