布拉格9月29日电 - 捷克总理安德雷·巴比斯周二对一家捷克新闻网站表示,如果俄罗斯攻击波罗的海国家,捷克共和国将准备好履行其北约承诺。
PRAGUE, Sept 29 - The Czech Republic would be ready to honour its NATO commitments in the event of a Russian attack on a Baltic country, Prime Minister Andrej Babis told a Czech news website on Tuesday.
巴比斯政府包含一个亲俄的反移民政党,该党已暂停捷克对乌克兰的军事援助出资,并选择退出欧盟和北约对基辅的资金和军事援助承诺。
Babis, whose government includes a pro-Russian anti-immigrant party, has halted Czech contributions to military aid for Ukraine and also opted out of EU and NATO financing and military aid pledges for Kyiv.
他曾多次谈到欧洲领导人促进和平的必要性,并在2023年的总统竞选中因表示不会派遣捷克士兵为盟友作战而受到批评。
He has repeatedly spoken about the need for European leaders to promote peace, and was criticised in a presidential campaign in 2023 for saying he would not send Czech soldiers to fight for allies.
当被问及布拉格是否在为俄罗斯对北约采取行动的可能性做准备(一些北约成员国的情报部门提出了这种可能性)时,巴比斯表示他正在讨论安全挑战,包括与总统彼得·帕维尔的讨论。
Asked by if Prague was preparing for the eventuality of Russian action against NATO, a possibility raised by some NATO members' secret services, Babis said he was having discussions on security challenges, including with President Petr Pavel.
巴比斯在视频采访中说:“我们不谈论这件事,记者得不到文章的素材,并不意味着我们没有解决它。”
"The fact we do not talk about it and journalists don't get fodder for their articles does not mean we don't address it," Babis said in the video interview.
他说:“当然我们在做准备。如果,上帝保佑,俄罗斯袭击了波罗的海国家,那么根据第五条(北约成员国的共同防御承诺),我们必须派出我们的两个机械化旅。”
"Of course we are preparing. If, God forbid, Russia were to attack a Baltic state, then, under Article 5 (NATO members' mutual defence commitment), we have to send two of our mechanised brigades," he said.
他说:“我们当然会积极参与,我们也在讨论此事,但我认为没有理由分享机密信息。”西欧政府和情报部门表示,俄罗斯加剧混合攻击(如破坏活动)甚至发动有限军事攻击的可能性正在增加。
"Of course we would be active and we talk about it, but I don't see a reason to share classified information." Western European governments and intelligence services have said there is a growing likelihood of Russia stepping up hybrid attacks such as sabotage or even launching a limited military attack.
巴比斯本月在没有提供细节的情况下表示,俄罗斯正在对捷克共和国发动混合战争,情报部门正给予其最高关注。
Babis said this month, without giving details, that Russia was waging a hybrid war against the Czech Republic, and that intelligence services were giving it maximum attention.
莫斯科多次否认策划任何对抗,或卷入混合战争以及困扰欧洲北约国家的日益频繁的破坏活动。
Moscow has repeatedly denied plotting any confrontation, or involvement in hybrid warfare or the increasingly frequent sabotage operations plaguing European NATO countries.
