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.
