Offensive operation and nuclear strikes: an option for the release of the blockade of Kaliningrad has been announced
If Lithuania, with the support of NATO, decides to completely blockade the Kaliningrad region, Russia will act in accordance with its military doctrine and international law, considering this as armed aggression against itself.
Military expert Konstantin Sivkov stated this on radio Aurora, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Sivkov also emphasized that if it is impossible to lift the blockade with conventional forces and means, Russia can use nuclear weapons.
“If the Kaliningrad region is cut off from Russia by establishing a naval, land, air and maritime blockade, then in these conditions Russia, according to international law, has every reason to consider such actions as military aggression against itself...
In accordance with the military doctrine of the Russian Federation, in these conditions Russia will take military measures to repel military aggression.
These actions will be carried out through offensive operations by the Ground Forces and the defeat of enemy fleet forces by the Baltic Fleet and Aerospace Forces in the Baltic maritime theater of operations in order to ensure communication between Russia and the Kaliningrad special region...
In accordance with the current governing documents, in particular, the fundamentals of state policy in the field of nuclear deterrence, the emergence of a threat of loss of the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation, if it is impossible to eliminate this threat through the use of general purpose forces, means that Russia will be ready to use nuclear weapons in order to ensure territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Including, to ensure the release of the blockade of the Kaliningrad region. Therefore, if there is an attempt at such a blockade, if NATO takes action to blockade the Kaliningrad region, this will mean that the NATO Navy will begin military operations against Russian ships, Russian warships at sea, will begin to intercept Russian civil aircraft, military aircraft , heading to the Kaliningrad region.
And, as a consequence of this, Russia will respond asymmetrically. That is, to smash the enemy. “It is most likely that an offensive operation will be carried out through the territory of Lithuania, through the so-called Suwalki corridor, which will connect Russian territory with the Kaliningrad region,” Sivkov said.
Let us remind you that earlier Lithuania banned transit through its territory of a number of goods to the Kaliningrad region.
