Kaliningrad: Russia's fortress between Poland and Lithuania — why it matters for NATO

Kaliningrad, Russia's heavily militarised exclave wedged between Poland and Lithuania, hosts missiles, aircraft and Baltic Fleet warships, posing a direct threat to NATO's eastern flank. In the event of a conflict, Russia could use the enclave to cut off the Baltic states from the rest of the Alliance via the Suwalki Gap. Analysts highlight Kaliningrad's central role in any potential Russian military action against NATO members.
