BRUSSELS (Sputnik) – NATO defense ministers are expected to discuss the situation over Russia's deployment of Iskander-M mobile missile systems into the Kaliningrad enclave during a meeting on October 26-27 in Brussels, an EU diplomatic source told RIA Novosti on Monday.

"The ministers are expected to discuss the situation," the source said.

According to the source, Russia's actions in Syria will be also on the agenda of the meeting.

Last week, media reports cited a source in the US intelligence saying that Russia was deploying Iskander-M mobile missile systems in Kaliningrad, Russia's enclave bordering Poland and Lithuania. The Russian Defense Ministry's spokesman Igor Konashenkov confirmed the reports, saying that Moscow made no secret of sending the missile systems to Kaliningrad as their movement within the country was a standard army practice.
