Amenințările Rusiei schimbă regulile pe flancul estic al NATO: Lituania deschide calea pentru arme nucleare pe teritoriul său

Lithuania's parliament has voted to advance a constitutional amendment to lift the ban on nuclear weapons, amid rising tensions with Russia. This change aims to enhance Lithuania's deterrence capabilities. The proposal received significant support, but requires a final vote in three months. The amendment would repeal a constitutional article prohibiting weapons of mass destruction and foreign military bases. Lithuania is increasing defense spending and strengthening NATO cooperation, particularly with Germany. The geographical position between Kaliningrad and Belarus raises security concerns, but the amendment does not automatically allow nuclear deployment.
