Lithuania moves to lift constitutional ban on nuclear weapons
Original: Lithuania's legislature passes first vote to lift constitutional ban on nuclear weapons
Lithuania's parliament has approved in a first vote a constitutional amendment removing the country's ban on nuclear weapons. The move would open the door to hosting such arms on Lithuanian territory, a debate shaped by the country's proximity to Russia and its NATO membership. The amendment still needs further votes before it takes effect.
Why now: Regional security fears tied to the war in Ukraine have made hosting nuclear weapons a live political question in frontline NATO states.
