Lithuania's parliament voted to begin removing the constitutional ban on weapons of mass destruction and foreign military bases, advancing the proposal to future approval stages. The amendment does not authorise deployments but removes legal barriers to NATO's nuclear deterrence arrangements on Lithuanian soil.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new legal pathway to hosting NATO nuclear assets in Lithuania; this creates potential demand for compliance and security services around foreign military cooperation. Opposition concern suggests reputational risks if you operate near Russian influence zones.
