Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Ryabkov said that Moscow is registering an increase in "malicious NATO activity" in the Baltic region and is aware of plans to blockade the Kaliningrad region.
"No one should have any doubt: attempts to implement them in practice are a direct path to disaster," Ryabkov said.
According to him, Russia is ready to deal with threats to its sovereignty and security "with all the means at our disposal".
The permanent representative of the Russian Federation at the United Nations, Nevantia, also informed Europe.
"Russia is not looking for an armed conflict with Europe, but if it starts a war itself, events could develop quickly," he said.
According to Nebenzi, European politicians who talk about preparing for war with Russia "must be aware of the consequences of such a move."
