The Kaliningrad Oblast and Poland's Security
Obwód Kaliningradzki a bezpieczeństwo Polski

Summary/Abstract: The Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation (RF) is significant for the security of Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic countries. This westernmost region of Russia is surrounded by EU and NATO states and does not have a direct contact with the RF. Considerable military potential is concentrated in this region, including medium and long range missile launchers that may be armed with nuclear warheads. The government in Moscow treats the military potential of this region as an element of pressure to influence public opinion and discourage the Polish authorities from building the US anti-missile system in Poland.
