Lithuania moves to end nuclear weapon ban as 'situation getting worse'

Lithuania is moving to end its ban on nuclear weapons as the security situation in the region worsens. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.

Lithuania's parliament has approved a bill to lift the country's ban on nuclear weapons. The move comes amid Russia's war in Ukraine and military buildup in the Kaliningrad region. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda called the decision a "necessary step."

The bill is still being debated in parliament, but its adoption could allow Lithuania to host nuclear weapons. This would provide additional security guarantees for NATO allies.
