Lithuanian parliament moves to lift constitutional ban on nuclear weapons
Original: Lithuanian parliament backs removing constitutional ban on nuclear weapons
Lithuania's parliament has voted in favour of removing a constitutional ban on nuclear weapons from the country's constitution. The move would open the door to hosting nuclear arms on Lithuanian territory, a significant shift in defence policy driven by security concerns over Russia's war in Ukraine. Supporters frame it as a deterrence option, while critics warn of escalation risks.
Why now: Regional security fears over Russia have pushed Baltic states to reconsider defence options including nuclear deterrence.
