A spokesman for the General Headquarters: there are no any nuclear weapons at Baltic. Russia has plenty of other means to respond to farther expansion of NATO eastwards

General Headquarters of Russian Armed Forces strongly denied the information of American newspaper “Washington Times” that Russia had began to return tactical nuclear weapons to one of missile bases in the territory of Kaliningrad region. According to the spokesman for the General Headquarters, “such information has nothing in common with the reality” and looks like a provocation. “Russia has plenty of other means to respond to farther expansion of NATO eastwards and in that way to guarantee its national security”, Ria-Novosti reports. “At the same time, the clock at the Spasskaya Tower of Kremlin counts out the beginning of the 21 century and new millennium,” he noted. “Washington time is slower than Moscow time. It is still under the influence of Cold war myths.”
