Kelin warned about Russia's response to provocations against Kaliningrad

MOSCOW, October 9 - RIA Novosti. Russia's response to possible military provocations against the Kaliningrad region will be crushing, said former Russian Ambassador to Great Britain Andrei Kelin.

“Currently, a huge number of exercises are taking place in the Baltic Sea, one after another. And in addition to this, our ships are stopped and searched. This is very dangerous. There are a number of scenarios on how to isolate the Kaliningrad region in military-political terms... We have high-tech means, which has been mentioned several times. And the answer, of course, will be crushing,” Kelin said in an interview with Vesti.

Kelin noted that a large number of exercises take place in the Baltic Sea and Russian ships are stopped and searched, which is dangerous.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in the event of a direct attack on Kaliningrad or other territories of the Russian Federation, the issue of using all weapons at the country’s disposal will inevitably and immediately be considered.
