Finland's parliament voted to remove its longstanding ban on nuclear weapons, marking a major shift in its defense policy. Lithuania also announced plans to lift its constitutional ban on nuclear weapons and foreign military bases.
According to gdelt, Finnish President Alexander Stubb signed amendments to the Nuclear Energy Act that allow nuclear weapons to be deployed on Finland's territory. The same source reported that Finland's new rules will permit the import, transit, supply, and storage of nuclear weapons on its territory, effective July 1.
Bluesky reported that Lithuania moved to erase its constitutional ban on hosting nuclear weapons within 48 hours after Finland formally ended its own nuclear‑weapons prohibition.
Russian diplomat Maria Zakharova, cited by tass, said Finland's lifting of its nuclear‑weapons ban was unfounded and requires a Russian response.
