The nearest Russian territory is a few hundred miles away .
Durning my research I have learned that Kaliningrad has requested from the Russian government to become an independent country but the Russian government has rejected this several times. The youths of Kaliningrad see themselves more as Europeans than Russians, this has led to several protest for independence.
Now for the fictional part , let us say if their was an Kaliningrad sovereignty party that was being brutality attack by the Russian government and this party formed an armed resistance group . This group was being chased by units of the Baltic Sea Naval Infantry and crossed over to either Poland or Lithuania, the Naval Infantry units followed them into Poland or Lithuania and attacked . Durning the fighting several Polish or Lithuania border guards were killed along with some civilians. I believe that this maybe a flash point for TW 2000 in 2016 .

Maybe mixed with that newly discovered oil deposits off the Kaliningrad and Polish shores to add some economic incentive to that scenario. Politically you could maybe have the Poles, Baltic countries vote in nationalist parties so the general population is more fired up against the Russians, it would give some NATO members like France, Spain and Italy little incentive to join in if NATO votes to take action (then the old modules would still work with the setting).
