Lithuanian parliament votes to lift ban on nuclear weapons

Lithuania's parliament has voted to lift a ban on nuclear weapons being stationed in the country, overturning a long-standing prohibition. The move opens the door for nuclear arms to be deployed on Lithuanian territory in the future, and it is drawing attention across the region given the country's NATO membership and its position on the alliance's eastern flank.

Why now: NATO members on Russia's border are debating stronger deterrence measures, so a vote reversing a nuclear weapons ban is highly consequential
