Lithuanian Parliament on Way to Repeal Nuclear Weapons Ban

The Lithuanian Parliament has given initial approval to a critical legal change that will allow nuclear weapons to be placed on the country’s territory. This decision shows that the Lithuanian administration has made a radical change in its defense strategies and aims to reshape the security architecture in the region.

Following the decision, Russia issued a harsh warning that this move could lead to a new wave of tension in the region. The process of lifting the nuclear weapons ban is followed as a critical development that will directly affect the geopolitical balances in the Baltic region and the relations between NATO and Russia.
