R. Kaunas advised journalists on Thursday to minimize speculation regarding the deployment of mass extermination weapons. He noted that in peacetime conditions, such discussions are not common in Lithuania.
However, Kaunas emphasized that like any nation, Lithuania must maintain the capacity to defend its independence and security during a crisis. He suggested that during a period of conflict, the nation should explore every possible opportunity presented by allies such as NATO, the United States, or France, which could include access to nuclear arsenals. This discussion follows recent political developments concerning Lithuania’s foundational laws.
Last month, the Speaker of the Seimas, J. Olekas, stated that he perceives a possibility of amending the Lithuanian Constitution, which currently prohibits the deployment of nuclear weapons within the country. According to the country’s chief adviser, Ramūnas Dilba, any consideration regarding this constitutional change would also receive backing from President Gitanas Nausėda.
The conversation about the nation’s defense parameters highlights evolving strategic considerations. While officials cautioned against unproven speculation, the dialogue underscores the perceived need to adapt national security provisions to potential geopolitical instability. The focus remains on how Lithuania can bolster its defensive posture and ensure its security during times of heightened tension, necessitating an examination of existing constitutional limitations.
