The electricity grid operators of the three Baltic countries on Tuesday officially notified Russia and Belarus that they will exit a 2001 agreement that has kept Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania connected to an electricity transmission system controlled by Moscow.
Unless you are proposing a genocide (which I hope not), Königsberg is full of russians, which I doubt many countries would want to deal with right now.
It is (or it was) the major military seaport in the baltic… and we are speaking about russia. They most likely generate their own power.
On the long run, i think it should be annexed by the EU as a common land for the whole union.
Edit: Just checked, they mainly produce energy with gasoil and are apparently currently importing energy from EU to satisfy internal demand. They also have a nuclear power plant of 2,34 MW (2 VVER) under construction. They built it under the idea of producing energy to export but as they failed to find buyers, construcción was halt.
Kaliningrad is not called Königsberg anymore. There was a war over this.
This is imperialism. IMO, the people of the Oblast Kaliningrad should be able to decide for themselves since the Russian Federation is de jure a federation. Once independent, Kaliningrad would be able to go through EU’s process of entry into the union.
I don’t see this happening anytime soon, because Russia is de facto neither a federation nor a democracy and I assume the people of Kaliningrad do not have the political will to be independent or part of the EU at the moment.
No need, they are already part of the Czech Republic, there was even a totally 100% legit referendum about it back in 2022 :P
People casually calling for the ethnic cleansing of Russians from a Russian Oblast and annexation of the territory is fucked up.
Russia’s crimes in Ukraine don’t make it okay for us to become completely deranged and want to forcibly remove thousands upon thousands of people from a region.
Except…. No one in this messaging chain called for ethnic cleansing, just annexation. So…. maybe don’t make stuff up?

What about we turn it into a great nudist LGBTQ+ friendly resort? With rainbows and unicorns and blahajs and what not.
Beautiful idea in theory, but the deeply conservative domestic residents might not appreciate it.
It’s the best time to start. The authorities are probably too busy to chance down some queers at the beach.
2,34MW seems pretty low for a nuclear power plant. For comparison, the smallest nuclear plant in the US produces 568MW
