Russia to Ensure Its Security Amid Lithuania's Plans to Lift Nuclear Ban
Russia will be forced to take all measures to ensure its security against the background of Lithuania's plans to lift the ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Of course, Russia will have to take all necessary measures to ensure its own security," Peskov told reporters.
The creation of a US military base in Lithuania and the lifting of the ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons will be a step towards escalating tensions, Peskov said.
"After all, a military base is part of the military infrastructure. And if someone's military infrastructure, which is actually the main camp of NATO, is approaching our borders, then, of course, this cannot be perceived as anything other than a step towards escalating tensions. Just like the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of a neighboring state," Peskov told reporters.
Earlier in the day, the LRT television and radio company reported, citing the speaker of the Lithuanian parliament, Juozas Olekas that the government plans to exclude the provision on the prohibition of weapons of mass destruction on its territory from the constitution in early 2027.
