Lithuania could become a target for Russian nuclear weapons: Peskov

Lithuanian territory may "come into the sights" of Russia's ​nuclear arsenal should Vilnius ‌decide to host such arms, Russian state news agency RIA ​cited Kremlin spokesman Dmitry ​Peskov as saying on Friday.

RIA ⁠quoted Peskov as saying: "And ​if there are nuclear ​weapons on the territory that are aimed at us, then that ​country's territory would likewise ​come within the sights of our ‌nuclear ⁠weapons."

Lithuania earlier this year said it would move to remove a prohibition on the ​deployment ​of ⁠nuclear weapons from its constitution by the ​end of the year.

However, ​Lithuanian ⁠officials have repeatedly said there were no plans for ⁠Lithuania ​to host such ​weapons on its territory.
