  • Source Integrity: Verified strictly against primary headline reporting under zero-hallucination protocols.

Lithuania's parliament has voted to lift a constitutional ban on nuclear weapons, in the first of two required votes. This move could potentially allow the stationing of nuclear weapons in the country. Coverage from TVP World and Türkiye Today reports that Lithuania's parliament has approved the measure, with the second vote set for later this year.

The move has prompted a strong reaction from Moscow, with the Kremlin threatening Lithuania over the plans. According to Українська правда, the Kremlin has warned Lithuania that it will take the necessary measures to protect its national security. The situation is further complicated by reports that the US is considering a new military base in the region, which could potentially involve nuclear capabilities.

The outcome of the second vote and the potential implications for regional security are unclear. However, the move is likely to have significant consequences for Lithuania's relationship with Russia and the wider region.
