  "account": "Moscow has threatened NATO with the use of nuclear weapons, if the military alliance attempts to isolate the exclave of Kaliningrad, which borders the Baltic Sea, according to an informal diplomatic document sent to NATO from Moscow and seen by Reuters. The Russian document warns against a dangerous and reckless course of action by NATO, which poses a high risk of a direct armed conflict. Should NATO in any way attempt to isolate Kaliningrad, Russia is prepared to use its entire defense arsenal, including the possibility of attacks on decision centers in NATO member states from the very beginning of a conflict. The Kremlin confirmed that Russia had sent a warning to NATO regarding Kaliningrad. This was intended to remind \"hot-headed individuals in Europe\" of Russia's fundamental stance on the matter, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow on Wednesday. NATO spokesperson Allison Hart confirmed receipt of the letter, stating that the alliance had responded and clearly stated that its activities did not pose a threat to Russian territory. NATO also strongly condemned the threat of violence and any reckless nuclear rhetoric, urging Russia to end its \"unprovoked war in Ukraine\".",
