Russia’s Nuclear Fortress Went Dark — Now Poland Is Mobilizing on the Border

Описание: Kaliningrad is Russia’s most heavily armed outpost in Europe: home to the Baltic Fleet, nuclear-capable Iskander missiles and an air defense bubble that covers much of the Baltic Sea. Yet on the night of October 30, a single power plant failure plunged the city of nearly one million people into darkness.

Just weeks earlier, Vladimir Putin warned at the Valdai Club that any attack on Kaliningrad could bring “all the weapons” Russia has into play. Now Poland has deployed police, counterterror units and soldiers to its northeastern border after intelligence warned of sabotage and possible armed incursions. Lithuania has doubled its border patrols, and NATO has launched its largest brigade deployment exercise in Latvia.

In this video, we break down:

Russia’s military buildup along the Finnish border, from the Arctic to the Baltic
Why Sweden is turning Gotland into a frontline fortress
