Lithuania's first vote Russia warns of tension

Oct 6

CCTV reports Peskov's October 6 warning that NATO bases and nuclear weapons in Lithuania would escalate tensions and require Russian security measures. It recalls Trump's consideration of a permanent U.S. base and Sinkevičius's offer to fund one if approved. The report then explains Lithuania's October 6 first constitutional vote to repeal Article 137's ban on weapons of mass destruction and foreign bases, the parliament's NATO deterrence rationale, and the requirement for two votes at least three months apart, each supported by at least 94 of 141 members. It expressly says the ban remains in force pending the second vote and formal effectiveness. No base or nuclear deployment is established.

Lithuania's parliament passes the first constitutional-amendment vote on October 6 toward repealing Article 137's prohibition on weapons of mass destruction and foreign military bases. CCTV relays the parliament's NATO deterrence rationale and explains two votes at least three months apart, each requiring at least 94 of 141 members. The current ban remains in force pending the second vote and formal effectiveness. Peskov's conditional tension/security warning is a direct response, separately indexed as its own statement. No final repeal, NATO base or nuclear deployment is established.
