The Kremlin said the international community was closely awaiting Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks at the Valdai Discussion Club, including comments touching on Kaliningrad, according to TASS.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "the whole world is waiting" for Putin's address, the agency reported, without elaborating further on the specific contents of the speech ahead of its delivery.
A closely watched forum
The Valdai Discussion Club is an annual forum in Russia where Putin has historically used his remarks to outline foreign-policy positions and respond to Western actions. References to Kaliningrad, Russia's exclave bordering Poland and Lithuania, have periodically featured in Russian officials' statements on European security, particularly amid tensions with NATO members in the region.
TASS's brief did not provide the substance of any warning related to Kaliningrad beyond noting that one was expected to be addressed, and did not specify when Putin's remarks would be delivered or published in full.
