I never hard of Kaliningrad before last week when a US general warned Putin not to take any NATO territory, or Russia loses Kaliningrad.

NATO members face repeated warnings from intelligence and defense officials that Russia could directly threaten alliance territory within the next five years, signaling an urgent need for coordinated defense investments and operational reforms.
NATO commander warned that its forces could capture Russia's heavily fortified Kaliningrad region "in a timeframe that is unheard of" if necessary.
General Christopher Donahue, commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, made the remark as the alliance unveiled a new Eastern Flank defense plan at the Association of the U.S. Army's inaugural LandEuro conference on Wednesday.
I'm not sure why Russia was given "Konigsburg" after WW2. They captured it and kept it as a warm water seaport. It sounds to me that NATO is saying if Russia takes any NATO territory Kaliningrad gets captured and Russia loses it warm water port.
