  "summary": "Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated Moscow's position that Russia would use all its weapons, including nuclear arms, if any of its territory is attacked, particularly Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave surrounded by NATO members. This stance comes after Moscow accused NATO of preparing an air and naval blockade of Kaliningrad and accused European leaders of playing a dangerous game by suggesting Russia might attack another country or engage in destabilizing attacks. NATO spokesperson Allison Hart condemned the Russian threat and urged Russia to stop its \"unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine.\"",
