Russia has raised the level of tension with NATO, warning of the potential use of nuclear weapons if the alliance attempts to isolate the Kaliningrad exclave, according to a report by Sky News Arabia.
NATO responded by affirming that its activities in the region are defensive in nature and do not target Russian territory, while reiterating its continued support for Ukraine and rejecting Moscow's nuclear threats.
Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea bordered by NATO members Poland and Lithuania, has repeatedly been a flashpoint in tensions between Russia and the Western alliance.
The report did not specify what specific NATO actions prompted Moscow's warning or provide further details on the alliance's planned response. Additional context on the broader state of Russia-NATO relations was not included in the available reporting.
