Something UNBELIEVABLE Just Cut Kaliningrad Off... 1,000,000 Russians Are STRANDED - Geopolitics Today

This is from a couple days ago but it's an important piece of news...

Kaliningrad was Putin's most forward outpost in Europe — now it is the place that exposes his powerlessness. Wedged between Poland and Lithuania with no land link to Russia, this enclave of one million people and tens of thousands of troops depends on lifelines that all run through its neighbors' hands: road, rail, power, and sea. One by one, those keys have been turned. And on June 3, 2026, Ukraine's drones struck St. Petersburg itself — the Baltic Fleet's home and the oil terminals that fund the war — shaking the last sea line that keeps the enclave alive. This is the anatomy of a fortress that became a prison.

7. Kievan Rus

Kievan Rus',[a][c] also known as Kyivan Rus',[7][8] was the first East Slavic state and, later, an amalgam of principalities[9], in Eastern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century.[10][11] Encompassing a variety of polities and peoples, including East Slavic, Norse,[12][13] and Finnic, it was ruled by the Rurik dynasty, founded by the Varangian prince Rurik.[14] The name was coined by Russian historians in the 19th century to describe the period when Kiev was preeminent. At its greatest extent in the mid-11th century, Kievan Rus' stretched from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the Carpathian Mountains in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east,[15][16] uniting the East Slavic tribes.

3. If the Russians abandon Kaliningrad, I doubt

the Germans would take it back. (It used to be called Koenigsburg).

4. Last year...

I think it was, Poland was making noises regarding taking it over. I think it would be absorbed by Poland.

8. I suspect that they could have it with the Germans' blessings

I suspect that any surviving East Prussians are very few and very elderly.
