Russia Issues NATO Nuclear Warning Amid Baltic Tensions
Russia said it would use its full arsenal, including nuclear weapons, if NATO tries to isolate Kaliningrad, after warning of escalating tensions with the alliance.

- Lithuanian presidential aide Deividas Matulionis dismissed the threats as 'baseless psychological pressure,' while NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told journalists the alliance does not take the allegations 'too seriously.'
- Analysts note the exclave remains strategically vulnerable, while Western intelligence reports Russia is intensifying a 'hybrid war' involving sabotage and electronic interference to undermine European unity.
