Kremlin Warns Lithuania Over Nuclear Arms Referendum
Original: Kremlin Warns Lithuania Lifting Nuclear Arms Ban Risks Escalation
The Kremlin has warned that Lithuania's move to lift its constitutional ban on nuclear weapons on its territory could escalate tensions. Lithuanian officials have proposed ending the prohibition amid heightened security concerns in the Baltic region following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Moscow says such a step would risk dangerous escalation, while Vilnius frames the debate as a defensive response to Russian threats.
Why now: Ongoing NATO-Russia tensions and the war in Ukraine have made nuclear deployment debates in frontline states a live security concern.
