Lithuania takes first step to allow nuclear weapons
Original: Lithuania's legislature passes first vote to lift constitutional ban on nuclear weapons
Lithuania's parliament has approved on first reading a constitutional amendment that would remove the country's ban on nuclear weapons. The move, reported by ConstitutionNet, marks only an initial vote and would need further passages to take effect. It reflects growing debate in Baltic states over security and deterrence amid regional tensions with Russia, and has drawn attention as a notable shift in Lithuanian defence policy.
Why now: A NATO border state is signalling openness to hosting nuclear deterrence amid heightened security concerns about Russia.
