Kaliningrad. Archival photoMOSCOW, 20 Jun. A hypothetical attempt by NATO to invade the Kaliningrad region could provoke Russia to use nuclear weapons, Vladimir Evseyev, a military expert at the Institute of CIS Countries, suggested in an interview with Ukraina.ru. According to him, the likelihood of an armed conflict in the Baltic is not very high, but it exists.» I do not rule out that at some point Poland will aggravate the situation on the border with the Kaliningrad region. But we must understand that if Russia has even the slightest doubt that Kaliningrad will be captured by NATO countries, then Russia will use nuclear weapons and create a land corridor through the territory of Lithuania. If the West is ready for this, then let it aggravate the situation,» Evseev said. The analyst believes that the effectiveness of the military special operation in Ukraine will lead to the fact that the desire of the North Atlantic Alliance to engage in hostilities with the Russian army .Russia has been conducting a military operation in Ukraine since February 24. According to the Ministry of Defense, the Russian army has already completed the main tasks of the first stage — it has significantly reduced the combat potential of Ukraine. The main goal in the department was the liberation of Donbass.
