Lithuania moves to lift ban on hosting nuclear weapons
Original: Lithuania moves to lift ban on hosting nukes
Lithuania has moved to lift its legal ban on hosting nuclear weapons on its territory, a significant shift in the Baltic state's defence policy amid heightened tensions with Russia. Such a change would mark a major step in NATO's forward posture on alliance territory bordering the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, and is likely to provoke a strong reaction from Moscow.
Why now: Rising security concerns over Russia are prompting NATO border states to reconsider restrictions on nuclear deterrence options.
