Why Kaliningrad May Become A Flashpoint In Escalating Russia-NATO Tensions: Explained

The territory, once the German city of Königsberg, hosts Russia’s Baltic Fleet, advanced air defences and Iskander missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Its geography makes it both a strategic asset projecting power into Europe and a potential vulnerability that could be isolated in a conflict.
