Lituania a făcut un nou pas pentru eliminarea interdicției privind armele nucleare pe teritoriul său

Lithuania's parliament has taken steps to amend its constitution to allow nuclear weapons on its territory, reflecting changing security concerns. The Seimas approved a project to remove the current ban on nuclear arms and foreign military bases, with further votes required. The decision is influenced by the ongoing war in Ukraine and increased Russian military presence nearby. Lithuania aims to participate fully in NATO's nuclear deterrence strategy, as neighboring countries do not have similar restrictions. The Kremlin has warned that any nuclear weapons in Lithuania would become targets for Russian forces, while Lithuanian officials assert their country is already a target. Discussions are ongoing regarding the potential expansion of U.S. nuclear capabilities in Europe, particularly in crisis situations.
