The foreign minister dismisses EU criticsm of the conservative reform agenda of his government.
Waszczykowski expresses concern about Russian "activity under the Baltic Sea and in the air, as well as in the militarised Russian exclave (sic) of Kaliningrad".
Kaliningrad/Königsberg is Russian hence surely not the concern of Poland?
But is there such a word as 'exclave'? Yes, there is, and it is that portion of a state geographically separated from the main part by surrounding alien territory. Exactly what Kaliningrad is. It was named Kaliningrad in 1946 after the Soviet leader Mikhail Kalinin.

"The US and NATO have been making aggressive noises towards Moscow for several years now. However, we are now seeing NATO make expansions eastward that Russia can only see as aggressive. The subsequent escalation of tensions takes us back into a Cold War scenario that we all hoped was a thing of the past."
