Lithuania's parliament advances constitutional amendment on nuclear weapons

Lithuania's Seimas has backed in first reading a constitutional amendment removing the country's ban on hosting nuclear weapons on its territory, according to Lithuanian broadcaster LRT. A final vote is not expected before three months, and the change would still need further approval. The move reflects growing debate in Baltic states about security guarantees amid tensions with Russia.
Why now: The potential end of Lithuania's nuclear weapons ban is a significant shift in regional security policy amid war in Ukraine and fears of Russian aggression.
