Lithuania has taken a significant step towards removing its constitutional ban on nuclear weapons and foreign military bases, moving closer to allowing NATO nuclear deployments on its territory. This marks a notable shift in Lithuania's defence posture amid rising tensions with Russia, which has reacted strongly, viewing the move as escalatory.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Lithuanian founders in security or geopolitical risk sectors will face a sudden shift in regional military alignment with NATO able to station nuclear weapons on Lithuanian soil soon. You should prepare for rapid changes in defence partnerships and potential regional instability starting immediately.
