ALT Map on a white background of Kaliningrad between the Baltic Sea, Lithuania and Poland. The border with Poland is drawn as one heavy straight line with a ruler’s tick marks beside it; every other border and coastline is thin. The quote reads: “Straight line borders are a sign of colonial rule.” Below it, smaller: “This is what happens when outsiders come in and they just draw lines on the map.” Edward Lucas, Founder-director, BISC. In conversation with Ramūnas Bogdanas, October 9, 2026.

The quote reads: “Nobody is menacing Kaliningrad from the outside. And the real question is when and how, but not if, the Kremlin will lose it in the end.” Edward Lucas, Founder-director, BISC.
