The Kremlin has said that an earlier warning about the consequences of a blockade of Kaliningrad should not be read as confrontational, according to spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Peskov described Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea between Poland and Lithuania, as an integral part of Russia and said the government would ensure the region's security in accordance with its laws.
The comments follow heightened attention on statements by Russian officials regarding Kaliningrad's status, given the territory's strategic position and its history as a point of tension with neighboring NATO members.
Peskov did not specify what circumstances would constitute a blockade or detail what security measures might be taken in such a scenario.
