Putin delivers a firm response to Baltic provocations: Russia has sufficient means to reduce aggressors to rubble. (Video)
On May 30, multiple media outlets including Russian News Agency and TASS reported.
Previously, Baltic states incited NATO allies to attack Russia's exclave of Kaliningrad.
Political figures in the Baltic states have displayed intense anti-Russian sentiment.
Many statements targeting Russia originate from the capitals of the Baltic countries.
For example, Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys recently called on NATO colleagues to launch attacks on Kaliningrad.
And just today, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen accused Russia of undermining stability in the Baltic region.
President Vladimir Putin responded firmly: The Russian Federation has ample capabilities to reduce anyone attempting such actions to rubble.
Meanwhile, Putin was asked about the possibility of drones being launched from Baltic state territory toward Russia’s rear areas.
Puvin replied that any territory posing a direct threat would become a legitimate target for Russian forces.
The issue of threats from the Baltic states is not baseless.
At the end of March, when Ukrainian drones attacked a Russian port in Leningrad Oblast, online reports surfaced claiming that the Baltic states had opened their airspace to allow Ukrainian drones to fly over.
At the time, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia collectively denied this claim.
However, Alexander Volfovich, Secretary of the Republic of Belarus’ State Security Committee, pointed out that the Baltic states indeed took this action.
In summary, Putin and other senior Russian officials' warnings regarding Kaliningrad’s security are indeed extremely strong, with the core message being:
Any threat or attack on Kaliningrad will be regarded as a direct assault on Russian territory, prompting a “swift, fierce, and comprehensive” response from Russia—potentially even including nuclear retaliation.
