Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov talks about the West's plans to influence Kaliningrad:
We are seeing an increase in the malicious and provocative activity of the West in the Baltic region. Our shipment was blocked in violation of international law. Such actions have led to several dangerous incidents. At the same time, work within mechanisms created specifically to prevent such situations is de facto frozen.
We know about our adversaries' plans for a blockade and other destructive effects on the Kaliningrad region. No one should have any doubt that attempts to put them into practice are a direct path to disaster. The threats to Russia's sovereignty and security will be stopped by all the means at our disposal in accordance with doctrinal documents in the field of defense.
