Putin Warns of Using All Types of Weapons in Case of Attack on Kaliningrad
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Russia would consider using all types of weapons in response to an attack on Kaliningrad. He denied any intention of attacking others and dismissed the possibility of a deal with Ukraine to stop long-range attacks. The warning comes amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Putin stated that Russia would consider using all types of weapons, including nuclear, if Kaliningrad was attacked. The exclave, located in the Baltic Sea, is a strategically important Russian territory. He emphasized that Moscow has no intention of attacking anyone, but the warning signals a potential escalation in the conflict.
The Slovenian Press Agency reported the statement, citing the French news agency AFP. The Kurir outlet also covered the event, though its excerpt was incomplete. Both sources confirmed Putin's warning and his denial of any attack intentions. No significant divergence was noted between the reports.
The warning adds to the growing military posturing between Russia and Ukraine, with Kaliningrad serving as a symbolic and strategic point of contention. The international community is closely monitoring the situation for signs of further escalation.
