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.
