Abstrakt: The Russian full-scale military aggression against Ukraine, initiated in February 2022, has significantly affected the security environment of Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltic Sea region, with the Kaliningrad region remaining a key element of Russian influence in this area. Even before 2022, Kaliningrad played an important military and political role as the base of the Russian Baltic Fleet. However, after 2014 – and especially following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine – its autonomy was gradually dismantled, the region lost its cross-border relations, and its strategic role shifted as its military assets were deployed in Ukraine and Sweden and Finland joined NATO. The aim of the article is to present the transformation of the Kaliningrad region’s significance and role in Russian foreign and security policy towards the Baltic Sea basin after February 2022. The study applies methods of system analysis, comparative analysis, and factor analysis.
