Lithuania moves to allow nuclear weapons on its territory
Lithuania is taking steps that would permit nuclear weapons to be stationed on its territory, according to news reports. The move would mark a significant shift for the NATO member state, which borders Russia and Belarus, and comes amid heightened security concerns in the Baltic region. Details on the legislation's scope and timeline were not immediately available.
Why now: Any move toward hosting nuclear weapons in a country bordering Russia raises fears of escalation in the war in Ukraine and NATO-Russia tensions.
