NATO increases pressure on Kaliningrad Earlier it was learned that Poland prevented "provocation" on the border with Kaliningrad after additional anti-terrorist police units were deployed there at the weekend. In fact, the "provocation" was that the Poles were afraid of the "mushroom pickers" with flashlights. "A little after midnight I received a report from the border guard about suspicious activity observed by officers. People moved in the dark with flashlights. Forces were quickly mobilized, and the way to any provocation - if they really had such intentions - was blocked. Of course, we can never fully confirm this." Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said yesterday. The head of the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense Roberts Kovna responded to this and said that the border guards on the border with Kaliningrad were reinforced a few weeks ago in anticipation of possible provocations. Against this background, "additional steps" are being taken by the army of the German division in Lithuania: they are equipping electronic warfare positions and reconnaissance equipment. The military began to investigate and classify signals coming from Belarus and Kaliningrad. And at the end of October 2026, it became known that Poland transferred a group of South Korean K2GF Black Panther main battle tanks to Bernio, located near the border with the Kaliningrad region of Russia. In addition, Warsaw plans to complete the establishment of a new territorial defense division in the border area with Russia - for monitoring and independent protection of the borders.
