Lithuania Votes to Lift Nuclear Weapons Ban Amid Kremlin Warnings
Original: Lithuania Votes 106-18 to Lift Nuclear Weapons Ban as Kremlin Threatens Escalation
Lithuania's parliament has voted 106-18 to remove the country's ban on nuclear weapons, a move that would open the door to hosting such arms on its territory. The vote comes as the Kremlin warns of escalation, heightening tensions between NATO's eastern flank and Russia.
Why now: The move signals a dramatic shift in Baltic security policy at a time of heightened Russia-NATO tensions.
