Kaliningrad Oblast: Baltic Sea
built 630 days ago
The Kaliningrad Oblast is a Russian territory. Although there are other countries that may have possible claim to the area and the region is an integrated part of the Baltic Sea region, the exclave is an inseparable part of the Russian Federation because of its ethnic Russian population, its military forces stationed in the region and economic reliance.

Moscow, Brussels, and Kaliningrad oblast must jointly put forward a clear vision and a detailed plan to integrate Kaliningrad within the Baltic region as a whole. Kaliningrad needs help to deal with the serious problems of crime and diseases that plague it, and will need help to establish a private business environment that attracts investment.

Russia can deploy gravity bombs for short-range aircraft in Kaliningrad Oblast without withdrawing from the 1991-92 regime or violating other obligations. Contrary to the report, there are no legally binding agreements on the nuclear-weapon-free status of the Baltic Sea and the adjacent states (for example, a number of US TNW remains in Germany). As noted above... Russia has been using long-range aircraft for these purposes, thus a transfer of gravity bombs does not fit the several-year-old pattern.
