The Lithuanian parliament has approved an initial reading of a constitutional amendment aimed at repealing the current prohibition on deploying weapons of mass destruction within the nation. During the Tuesday session, 106 members of the Seimas voted in favor of the proposal, while 18 opposed it and six abstained. If enacted, this change could theoretically facilitate the stationing of allied nuclear armaments in the Baltic country. Current constitutional law strictly forbids both foreign military installations and mass destruction weaponry. The proposed revision specifically targets the ban on such armaments while maintaining existing restrictions regarding foreign military bases. A conclusive parliamentary vote is scheduled for January 12, requiring a supermajority of at least 94 out of 141 legislators to pass, following a mandatory three-month waiting period.
