Russia warned NATO of the possibility of using nuclear weapons in the event of an attempt to cut off Kaliningrad, accusing the Alliance of pursuing a dangerous course that could lead to armed conflict.
In response to these statements, European Commission spokesperson Christian Wigand emphasized that the EU condemns Russia’s irresponsible nuclear threats and has no intention of falling into a trap designed to stir up panic.
Wigand also noted that the EU supports a clear NATO response to these threats and will not amplify Russia’s threats, assuring that the European Union will not succumb to Moscow’s intimidation tactics.
The European Union continues to work closely with NATO to counter Russian threats, although the details of this cooperation have not been disclosed.
Furthermore, Russia poses a threat not only to European but also to Ukrainian nuclear security. The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate reported a drone attack by Russia on the premises of the Institute for Nuclear Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv, a key research institution in the field of nuclear physics.
