Is it true that Kaliningrad became Russian territory when the Soviet Union annexed it from Germany after the Second World War?

Yes. Multiple reference and scholarly sources state that Königsberg, the German East Prussian city, was ceded or annexed to the Soviet Union in 1945 after World War II and renamed Kaliningrad, becoming part of the Russian SFSR.
