Putin Threatens All-Weapons Response if Kaliningrad Attacked as Russia-Ukraine Strikes Escalate

Putin explicitly warned that Russia could use all weapons types if Kaliningrad is threatened, marking a sharp escalation in rhetoric amid intensified mutual strikes between Moscow and Kyiv. The threat raises the stakes of any NATO or Ukrainian action near the exclave, though it remains rhetorical for now. This is a notable hardening of Russia's nuclear-adjacent signaling, increasing risk of miscalculation.
