Maria ButinaMOSCOW, Mar 26The words of the Polish general about «occupied Kaliningrad» are dangerous, even NATO is afraid of independent active actions by Warsaw, including possible claims to part of the Ukrainian territory, Maria Butina, a member of the Duma Committee on International Affairs, told RIA Novosti. Earlier, the former commander of the Polish ground forces, General Waldemar Skshipchak, In an interview with Super Express, he said that Poland should raise the issue of belonging to the Kaliningrad region, which since 1945 has been «occupied by Russia.» In Russia, the military was advised to better learn the history of his country, and the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in response to the «raised question» replied that «as she raises, so she lowers.» «This campaign has been going on for a long time. Now they have escalated. Poland in general in this case, a very strong player, and it must be said that NATO is afraid of their active independent actions — we must speak frankly — if possible, get part of the Ukrainian territory, for example. Such statements, of course, are dangerous, but they are in (their) logic and trend», — Butina told the agency. She also recalled similar cases that had occurred earlier. «Such information began to appear quite a long time ago. Remember, at one time a campaign was launched with fake maps, on which the Kaliningrad region was already reflected as supposedly not Russian territory,» the deputy noted DG.Zakharova sharply responded to the Polish general, who spoke out about KaliningradIn summer, in the German federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, unknown persons hung copies of election posters of political parties in 1949 with a map of Germany in the pre-war borders with the Kaliningrad region in its composition, the local publication Nordkurier reported earlier. The Kremlin's reaction to the appearance of such posters is negative, said the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, adding that this situation has nothing to do with the official position of Berlin, which does not question the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation. The modern Kaliningrad region is located on the territory of the former German province of East Prussia. In 1945, the battles of the East Prussian operation of the Soviet troops took place here. After the end of World War II, by decision of the Potsdam Conference, part of East Prussia (about a third) went to the USSR, the rest of the territory to Poland. general to study history
