Kremlin: Russia will use full arsenal to defend Kaliningrad if threatened

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated Russia would use its entire weapons arsenal to defend Kaliningrad if threatened, while denying Moscow had threatened nuclear use as portrayed by the West. This escalates rhetoric around the Baltic exclave, a strategic flashpoint, and signals a hardening of Russia's defensive posture. The statement is likely aimed at deterring NATO, but the ambiguity over 'entire arsenal' leaves nuclear ambiguity unresolved.
