Patrushev Warns NATO of Swift Response to Any Aggression Against Kaliningrad

Russian presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev warned that any NATO attempt to act on threats against Kaliningrad would meet an adequate and swift Russian response, with the alliance regretting its actions. This rhetoric escalates Moscow's signaling over the exclave amid ongoing NATO-Russia tensions, though it does not indicate an imminent operational change. The statement is part of a pattern of Russian warnings, but the direct threat of regret adds a sharper edge.
