Waszczykowski: Russian response inappropriate

Poland’s Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski called the recent deployment of nuclear-capable Iskander missiles into the Kaliningrad enclave inappropriate. "We believe that the Russian response, the moving of missiles, is an inappropriate response to NATO's activity," Waszczykowski said at a news conference. The missiles, which have been moved into the enclave bordering Poland and Lithuania have a range of up to 700 km, meaning that they could reach as far as Berlin. The Russian defense ministry claimed that the deployment is part of a training routine. "Contingents of missile troops have been moved many times and will continue to be moved to Kaliningrad region as part of a Russian armed forces training plan," said the Russian ministry.
