Sikorski Urges Aggressive NATO Drills Near Kaliningrad

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski argued that NATO should conduct aggressive military exercises near Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave to exploit Moscow’s localized vulnerabilities and force Vladimir Putin to redeploy troops away from Ukraine. Sikorski noted that Kaliningrad currently holds “practically no troops” because the Kremlin assumes NATO will not act, suggesting decisive allied maneuvers would inject strategic ambiguity.
