Lithuania moves to allow nuclear weapons on its territory
Lithuania is taking steps to permit nuclear weapons to be stationed on its territory, according to reports. The move would mark a significant shift in the NATO member's defense posture amid heightened security concerns in the Baltic region. Details about the legal changes and any timing have not been disclosed, and it is not confirmed whether any nuclear-armed country has agreed to deploy weapons there.
