Moscow has stressed that it can do as it wishes on its own soil
Russia will never consider discussing the withdrawal of missiles from its Kaliningrad region, a western exclave that borders Poland... Peskov was asked about the status of talks on European security between Russia, the US, and NATO, and whether Moscow would consider pulling Iskander missiles, a short-range ballistic system, out of Kaliningrad as part of an effort to reduce tensions.

Peskov's interview comes after security talks held last week between Russia, the US, and NATO, during which the sides discussed ongoing tensions over Ukraine. Meanwhile, American intelligence services have been warning for months that they fear an imminent Russian invasion of its neighbor, which the Kremlin has dismissed as misinformation... Peskov maintained that
there are no Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine, but that there are troops stationed inside Russia near the two countries' border. He said that it would be
"madness" for any side to threaten military action, but insisted that
Russia must be ready to "take counteractions" if Western powers don't heed its concerns. Russia won't withdraw missiles from Kaliningrad – Kremlin — RT Russia & Former Soviet Union (https://www.rt.com/russia/546306-kaliningrad-region-missiles-peskov/)
