Lithuania’s parliament approved a constitutional amendment removing the prohibition on weapons of mass destruction being deployed within Lithuanian territory. This decision potentially allows allied nuclear weapons to be stationed in the Baltic state. Local news sources reported the vote took place on Tuesday. The move signals a shift in Lithuania’s defense policy amid heightened regional security concerns. Supporters argue the amendment is necessary to bolster deterrence against potential aggressors, specifically referencing Russia. Critics have expressed concerns about escalating tensions and the implications for arms control. The amendment now requires further legal procedures to become fully enacted.
