Original: Lithuania Votes 106-18 to Lift Nuclear Weapons Ban as Kremlin Threatens Escalation
Lithuania's parliament has voted 106-18 to lift the country's ban on nuclear weapons, opening the door to hosting such arms on its territory. The move comes as the Kremlin warns of escalation, raising tensions between NATO's eastern flank and Russia. The vote signals growing alarm in Baltic states over Russian military threats and security guarantees.
Why now: Ongoing tensions with Russia and debate over NATO nuclear sharing are making Baltic security measures highly topical.
