Lithuanian parliament votes to lift ban on hosting nuclear weapons
Original: Lithuanian Parliament passes first vote to lift ban on hosting nuclear weapons
Lithuania's parliament has passed a first vote to lift the country's ban on hosting nuclear weapons on its territory. The move, still subject to further voting, would open the door for nuclear arms to be stationed in the NATO member that borders Russia and Belarus. It follows mounting security concerns in the Baltic region since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and is drawing significant international attention.
Why now: Lithuania's proximity to Russia and the prospect of nuclear weapons being stationed there make the vote highly significant for European security
