Lithuania agrees to remove constitutional ban on nuclear weapons

-

July 2 (Reuters) - ‌Lithuania's President ​Gitanas Nauseda said on Thursday ⁠that parliamentary parties had agreed on a ​plan to remove a ‌constitutional provision prohibiting nuclear weapons on Lithuanian soil.

"The ⁠geopolitical situation ⁠is getting worse. Our constitution was written when geopolitical circumstances were ‌totally different," he said.

Nauseda ⁠said there ‌were no ​immediate plans to store nuclear weapons in Lithuania, ‌but that ​removing the ⁠provision would ensure ‌the country ⁠was not constrained if security circumstances changed in ​the future.
