Poland responds to reports of Russian nukes moved to Kaliningrad region
According to Rzeczpospolita,an anonymous NATO source claims that satellite
pictures of the Kaliningrad area handed over to Polish authorities
indicate that strategic nuclear weapons have been installed near the
Polish border and that Russia has begun installation of nuclear weapons in
other spots. The information regarding the movement of nuclear weapons to
Kaliningrad was first published by The Washington Times. The Russian
Defense Ministry categorically denies the report. According to independent
Russian military analyst Pawel Felgenhauer, there is no need for Russians
to move nuclear weapons nearer the border, because weapons in other parts
of Russia could reach potential targets. Polish Defense Minister Bronislaw
Komorowski commented that the press is not a very credible source, and
added that Poland has its own information about Kaliningrad. (Reuters,
