"Will disappear from the map of the world": the Kremlin threatened Lithuania over plans to amend the Constitution to allow the placement of nuclear weapons
Russia reacted sharply to the possibility that allied nuclear weapons could be stationed on Lithuanian territory — Vilnius intends to remove from the Constitution the ban on their placement. The Kremlin has already threatened to target its weapons at the country, and stated that in the event of an armed conflict "Lithuania will disappear from the map of the world."
Moscow is convinced that NATO will not invoke Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty to defend Lithuania. These statements were made by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmytro Medvedev and the press secretary of the Russian dictator Dmitry Peskov.
