> Italian website L'AntiDiplomatico says Russia issued a harsh warning after calls in some countries to block the Kaliningrad Region. It said Moscow made clear that any attempt to blockade or threaten the exclave could trigger retaliation with Russia’s full military arsenal, including nuclear weapons, and that interference would be treated as an attack on sovereign Russian territory.
