Daila Grybauskaite: Russian missiles threatening Berlin

Lithuanian president Dalia Grybauskaite said, upon arrival at the EU summit in Brussels, that her country is not only for maintaining, but for "deepening" the sanctions against Russia.

"Look at Kaliningrad", she said, alluding to the Russian enclave stuck between Poland and Lithuania. "Russia has deployed there nuclear missiles 'Iskander’ that can even reach Berlin."

Russia announced it is sending nuclear capable "Iskander" missile systems to Kaliningrad as part of a massive military drill ordered by Russian President Putin.

According to Russian state media 38 thousand soldiers, 55 warships and submarines, as well as 110 aircraft and helicopters are involved.

TU-22M3 strategic bombers will be flown along with fighter aircraft to Crimea as part of the snap drills.

Ships of Russia's Baltic Fleet as well as airborne forces and troops from the southern military district are at "the highest state of combat readiness" the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on its website on Tuesday.
