What is Kaliningrad?
Kaliningrad is a small piece of Russian territory on the Baltic Sea, sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania. It is geographically separated from the rest of Russia, making it an 'exclave'. Its strategic location is why Poland's call for NATO exercises near it is so significant, as it's a key military outpost for Russia in Europe.
