Lithuania takes first step to lift nuclear weapons ban
Original: Lithuania takes 1st step to lift nuclear weapons ban amid Russian threat
Lithuania has taken an initial step toward lifting its ban on nuclear weapons, a move driven by the threat posed by Russia. The change would open the door for the possible stationing of nuclear arms on Lithuanian territory. As a NATO member bordering Russia and Belarus, Lithuania has grown increasingly vocal about security concerns since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the decision is being watched closely across the region.
Why now: Rising fears of Russian aggression are pushing frontline NATO states to reconsider long-standing nuclear restrictions.
