俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京周四再次重申莫斯科的一贯立场：俄罗斯没有计划攻击欧洲国家，但将以 arsenal 中的“所有武器”回应侵略行为。
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday reiterated Moscow’s long-held position that Russia is not planning to attack European countries but will respond to aggression with “all weapons” in its arsenal.
普京在一场外交政策论坛上指责西方和欧洲加剧紧张局势，称它们谈论准备在未来几年与莫斯科开战、在波罗的海举行军事演习，并扣押俄罗斯船只。
In remarks at a foreign policy forum, Putin accused the West and Europe of escalating tensions by talking about preparing for a war with Moscow in the coming years, conducting military drills in the Baltic Sea, and seizing Russian vessels.
此前，莫斯科曾警告北约，如果该军事联盟任何成员试图切断加里宁格勒这个波罗的海飞地与俄罗斯其他地区的联系，俄罗斯将毫不犹豫地动用核武器保卫加里宁格勒。
His remarks followed Moscow’s warning to Nato that it would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons to defend Kaliningrad should any members of the military alliance try to cut off the Baltic exclave from the rest of Russia.
欧洲多所俄罗斯大使馆本周发表声明称，莫斯科已“获得信息，北约正准备对加里宁格勒及加里宁格勒地区实施海空封锁”。
Several Russian embassies in Europe this week issued statements that said Moscow has “information that Nato is preparing [an] air and naval blockade of Kaliningrad and [the] Kaliningrad region”.
这些使馆指责欧洲领导人“玩弄危险游戏”，声称俄罗斯可能攻击另一个国家，或加大利用无人机和破坏行动制造局势动荡。莫斯科称这些指控荒谬至极。
They accused European leaders of “playing a dangerous game” by saying Russia might attack another country or ramp up a campaign of destabilising attacks with drones and sabotage. Moscow has called the allegations absurd.
俄罗斯驻爱尔兰大使馆周二在声明中表示：“外界不应有任何误解——如果北约国家试图将加里宁格勒地区与俄罗斯其他地区隔离开来，俄罗斯准备动用包括核武器在内的全部武器，保卫本国领土。”
“There should be no mistake – Russia would be ready to use all its arsenal, including nuclear weapons, to defend its territory if Nato countries try to isolate [the] Kaliningrad region from the rest of the country,” the Russian embassy in Ireland said in its statement on Tuesday.
周四，在瓦尔代俱乐部论坛上被问及俄罗斯是否正处在与北约开战的边缘，或双方是否都在试图恐吓对方时，普京说：“这不是恐吓，而是对企图恐吓我们的行为作出的回应。”普京表示，先前对北约发出的警告中“一切内容都表述得准确无误”。
Asked at the Valdai Club forum Thursday whether Russia was on the cusp of a war with Nato or whether both were trying to intimidate each other, Putin said: “It’s not intimidation, it’s a response to an attempt to intimidate us.”Putin said that “everything is written correctly” in the earlier warning to Nato.
他说：“如果俄罗斯联邦遭到直接攻击——这里指的是加里宁格勒，也可能是其他一些领土——那么，动用我国所掌握的一切武器这一问题当然会不可避免地、立即提上日程。”
“If it comes to a direct attack on the Russian Federation – in this case we mean Kaliningrad, or maybe some other territories – of course, inevitably and immediately the question of Russian Federation using all weapons at the disposal of our country will appear on the agenda,” he said.
普京没有说明莫斯科是否会使用核武器，但表示俄方拥有“别国没有的”武器，并将在遭攻击时决定使用哪一种。
Putin didn’t specify whether Moscow would use nuclear weapons but said it has arms that “no one else has” and would determine which to use in case of an attack.
北约发言人艾利森·哈特周三证实，俄罗斯已向美国主导的军事联盟递交了一份书面函件。她在一份声明中表示：“我们强烈谴责任何武力威胁，包括任何不负责任的核言论。”
Nato spokeswoman Allison Hart confirmed on Wednesday that Russia had sent a written message to the US-led military alliance. “We strongly denounce the threat of force, including any irresponsible nuclear rhetoric,” she said in a statement.
哈特坚称，北约并未以加里宁格勒为目标，并已回复俄方，指出“北约是一个防御性联盟，我们的任何活动或演习都不会对俄罗斯任何地区构成风险”。
Hart insisted Nato was not targeting Kaliningrad and had sent a reply noting that “Nato is a defensive alliance and none of our activities or exercises pose a risk to any part of Russia”.
北约秘书长马克·吕特周三表示，该组织对这份函件的回复“简短明了”。
Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said Wednesday the bloc’s response to the message was “short and concise”.
吕特告诉欧洲新闻台：“基本上，我们传达的信息是：‘听着，我们是一个防御性联盟，停止发出核威胁。这完全没有必要，也不会有帮助。’”北约在回复中还敦促俄罗斯停止其“对乌克兰无端发动的侵略战争”，如今这场战争已进入第五个年头。
“Basically what we said is, ‘Hey, listen, we are a defensive alliance, and stop the nuclear threat. This is absolutely not called for and not helpful,’” Rutte told Euronews. Nato’s response also urged Russia to stop its “unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine”, now in its fifth year.
加里宁格勒这块波罗的海飞地夹在北约成员国波兰和立陶宛之间。这里坐落着俄罗斯在波罗的海的主要海军基地及其他军事设施，并部署了具备核打击能力的“伊斯坎德尔”导弹。
The Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad sits between Nato members Poland and Lithuania. It is home to Russia’s main Baltic navy base and other military assets, and nuclear-capable Iskander missiles are deployed there.
西方军事官员表示，如果俄罗斯攻击任何北约盟国，加里宁格勒境内的重要军事设施很可能成为首批打击目标。
Western military officers have said that key military installations in Kaliningrad would be a likely first target should Russia ever attack any Nato ally.
近几个月来，北约盟国在波罗的海地区举行了军事演习。10月还将举行更多演习。北约去年在那里启动了“波罗的海哨兵”行动，以保护通信电缆和管道。
Nato allies have conducted military exercises in the Baltic Sea region in recent months. More are planned in October. It launched Operation Baltic Sentry there last year to protect communication cables and pipelines.
美国欧洲空军表示，8月18日，北约在波兰北部和波罗的海地区上空举行了一场演习，出动了多架飞机，其中包括EA-37B“指南针呼叫”预警机——这是一款先进的美国飞机，能够干扰通信和雷达系统。
On August 18, Nato held an exercise over northern Poland and the Baltic region involving several aircraft, including an EA-37B Compass Call – a sophisticated American plane that can jam communications and radar, the US Air Forces in Europe said.
防务分析人士认为，这次未经宣布的大规模演习不会受到克里姆林宫的欢迎。
Defence analysts believe the unannounced large-scale exercise would not have been welcomed by the Kremlin.
欧洲各国领导人和情报机构警告称，如果俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争中获胜，它可能在几年内准备袭击另一个国家。
European leaders and intelligence services have warned that Russia could be ready to strike at another country within a few years, especially if it wins its war on Ukraine.
吕特告诉欧洲新闻台称，俄罗斯正试图“分化我们，使我们无法专注于保卫乌克兰”。
Rutte told Euronews that Russia is trying “to divide us and lose the focus” on defending Ukraine.
“我们不会，”他说，并补充称，最好的应对方式是向基辅提供更多支持。“这就是我要传达的信息。保持冷静，继续行动，让对乌克兰的支持持续下去。这就是我们的应对方式。”吕特说。
“We will not,” he said, adding that the best way to respond is to provide Kyiv with more support. “That’s the message. Calm, carry on, keep the support for Ukraine going. That’s how we deal with it,” Rutte said. By Associated Press
