Quotes

The border between Russia's Kaliningrad exclave and its neighbours Poland and Lithuania is reportedly barely guarded due to a lack of manpower.

"How do they guard the border (with Poland and Lithuania) in the Kaliningrad region now?"

"7500 people were sent, 120 returned and immediately went on vacation for a month. Then back to training and on a mission. The only hope is for conscripts."

The FSB stubbornly does not want to establish, recruit [a] unit of former military personnel and officers who previously served in the MMG.

With about 7,000 members, the Border Guard is one of Russia’s largest armed formations, but are entirely separate from the Russian Armed Forces.
