Russia threatens Britain with nuclear strike over Kaliningrad blockade
Original: Russia has threatened Britain with nuclear weapons in the event of a blockade of Kaliningrad
Russia has warned that it could respond with nuclear weapons if Britain were involved in blockading Kaliningrad, the Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea surrounded by EU and NATO members Lithuania and Poland. The threat underscores how tensions over the exclave's access and Western support for Ukraine continue to feed rhetoric about a possible direct confrontation between Russia and NATO members.
Why now: Renewed nuclear threats against a NATO member during the war in Ukraine raise fears of escalation.
