Tensions Rise Between Russia and Poland Over Kaliningrad and Victory Day.
TL;DR Summary
Poland's decision to rename the Russian city of Kaliningrad to Krolewiec, its name when it was ruled by the Kingdom of Poland in the 15th and 16th centuries, has been called a "hostile act" by the Kremlin. The city was known as Koenigsberg until after World War II, when it was annexed by the Soviet Union and renamed to honour Soviet politician Mikhail Kalinin. Tensions between Poland and Russia have been high due to historical conflicts and Poland's support for Ukraine after Russia's invasion in 2022.
