据立陶宛广播公司LRT报道，立陶宛议会周二对一项旨在废除宪法中核武器禁令的修正案进行了首次审议。该修正案旨在从宪法中删除有关禁止大规模杀伤性武器的条款。在投票中，106名议员赞成、18人反对、6人弃权。这一进展可能为在立陶宛部署盟国核武器铺平道路。
Lithuania's parliament on Tuesday passed the first reading of an amendment seeking to remove the constitutional ban on nuclear weapons, according to broadcaster LRT. The parliament backed the amendment, which aims to remove the ban on weapons of mass destruction from the country's constitution, with 106 lawmakers voting in favor, 18 against and six abstaining. The passage of the amendment potentially paves the way for the stationing of allied nuclear weapons in Lithuania.
该修正案的最终表决定于1月12日举行，届时需要获得141名议员中至少94人的支持才能通过。
A final vote is scheduled for Jan. 12 and the amendment will require the support of at least 94 of the 141 members of parliament to pass.
议会议长尤奥扎斯·奥莱卡斯在表决前表示，废除禁令有助于提升立陶宛的防御能力和威慑力。
Parliament Speaker Juozas Olekas said before the vote that repeal of the ban could strengthen Lithuania’s resilience and deterrence capabilities.
他还指出，此举将消除立陶宛与其他欧盟及北约成员国在法律层面上的差异，使各国处于平等地位。
“By addressing the legal exceptions that Lithuania had compared with other EU and NATO countries, they will be gone and we will be equal," Olekas also said.
据报道，国防部长罗伯塔斯·考纳斯也强调了威慑措施的重要性，呼吁议员们采取一切可行手段来加强国家安全。
Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas reportedly underscored the significance of deterrence, urging lawmakers to make use of all available options to strengthen Lithuania’s security.
考纳斯还提到：“倘若俄罗斯没有挑起乌克兰战争，我们或许也不会展开如今的这些讨论。”
“If Russia had not started the war in Ukraine, we probably would not be having the discussions we are having today," Kaunas also said.
