Polish Foreign Minister Radosław #Sikorski Applebaum has called on #NATO to intensify military exercises near #Kaliningrad, arguing this would force #Russia to redirect troops from the Ukrainian front, The Times reports. Speaking from #Kiev, Sikorski claimed the #Russian exclave currently has "practically no troops" stationed there. He was careful to stress the goal isn't seizing the region — just pulling Moscow's attention and forces away from #Ukraine.
