Lithuania's Seimas Votes to Lift Ban on Nuclear Weapons
Original: Lithuania's Seimas Voted to Lift Ban on Nuclear Weapons
Lithuania's parliament, the Seimas, has voted to lift the country's ban on nuclear weapons. The move would clear a legal obstacle to hosting nuclear arms on Lithuanian territory, a step likely to be read against the backdrop of tensions with Russia and Lithuania's NATO membership. Details of the vote's margin and next steps were not provided.
Why now: A NATO member removing its prohibition on nuclear weapons signals a major shift in regional security policy amid the war in Ukraine.
