  "description": "Newsweek published an article highlighting that Russia has relocated tactical nuclear weapons to Kaliningrad, which is an exclave situated between NATO countries Poland and Lithuania. This move effectively places Russian nuclear strike capability much closer to NATO members, shifting the strategic balance by extending Russia’s reach deeper into European NATO territory. The Kremlin’s action is interpreted as a demonstration of nuclear deterrence and leverage in regional geopolitical tensions. A detailed map illustrates how the range of these weapons now covers larger parts of NATO countries, raising concerns among Western security experts. The article also references NATO and Baltic officials expressing increased alertness to these developments, noting that these deployments were previously confined to Russian mainland territory.",
