Polish Media Reports on Kaliningrad Do Not Influence Policy
Press reports concerning the Kaliningrad region are not a source of information which can shape Poland's security policy, the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry told PAP [on] Thursday [15 February] commenting a Washington Times report according to which Moscow had moved tactical nuclear missiles there.
Press reports concerning this part of Europe are neither for Poland nor its allies a source of information influencing our security policy, Grzegorz Dziemidowicz stressed.
At the moment we do not see any new facts that would make it necessary to change both the evaluation of Poland's security or todate directions of our actions in this field, Dziemidowicz added.
Dziemidowicz recalled that on 24 January NATO Secretary-General George Robertson said on behalf of the alliance that NATO had been informed about press reports on nuclear weapons in the Kaliningrad region.
On Thursday, Washington Times wrote that U.S. satellites located Russian tactical nuclear missiles in the Kaliningrad region. The satellite reports contradict Russia's statements denying the missile deployment, the paper added.
Russian Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev said [on] Thursday the reports quoted by Washington Times were pure nonsense.
