Lithuania Urges NATO to Attack Russian Bases in Kaliningrad

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys said NATO should demonstrate its ability to overcome Russian defenses in the Kaliningrad region, according to comments published by the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Budrys argued that the alliance must send a clear message regarding its military capabilities in the strategically important Baltic region. "We must show the Russians that we can break through the small fortress they have built in Kaliningrad,” he said. "NATO has the means to flatten Russian air defense bases and missile systems if necessary.”
